EDITOR’S NOTE
r-HE first volume of the Bodleian Quarterly Record covers three years, 1914-16,
chiefly alas ! years of war time. The Record requires about 500 subscribers to
be self-supporting, but at present has about 300. After the war it is hoped that
there may be an increase in the numbers. Up to the present the deficit has been
made good by private help, especially from Sir William Osier.
'I'he second volume will probably begin an edition of Sir Thomas Bodley’s
letters to his first Librarian, and also Annals from 1880 to bring Macray’s history
up to date.
The chief contributions to the present volume have been :—the Lists of Early
MSS. in the Bodleian, written before a . d . 1200, chiefly the work of Dr. Craster,
Sub-Librarian ; the newly found Great Seal of Charles II (no. 7) ; Mr. Gibson’s
Essay on the seventeenth century Bodleian Catalogues (no. 8) ; the Statistical
Survey of the Bodleian (no. 9) ; Mr. Wheeler’s account of the principles of Bodleian
Shelf-marks and Classification for three centuries (nos. lo and 11), and Sir William
Osier's beautifully illustrated description of Book-worms in no. 12.

NOTES AND NEWS
‘Ek Jibs ap-)( 6 iif<r 6 a, A portrait of Sir Thomas Bodley is the most fitting illustra-
tion for the first number of the Record. A ‘worthy of Devon’
B^odl 3nd Fellow of Merton College, he was entrusted by Queen Elizabeth
with delicate diplomatic work in the Netherlands, Denmark, and
France, but finally turned from state-craft and court life to ‘ set up his staff as
he termed it, ‘ at the Library door in Oxon The bare and dismantled room
over the Divinity School, which had housed the MSS. of Humphrey Duke of
Gloucester and of other benefactors to the University, he furnished anew, and
opened with over 2,000 volumes (of which 299 were MSS.) in 1602, on November 8,
the day still marked by the annual Visitation of the Library. Not only through
his wealth and through his personal energy, but very largely also by the aid of
influential friends whose interest he engaged for the new foundation, the Bodlei.m
was well started on its career, and given an impulse which it has never lost. It
may still be said that the Library depends far more on the good will and the
benefactions of its friends than on any purchasing power which it may possess.
The tercentenary of the Founder’s death was commemorated last year by a service
in Merton College Chapel, where he was buried. The best accounts of his life
are in the Dictionary of National Biography Oitid the Annals of the Bodleian (2nd ed.,
1890), both by the Rev. Dr. W. D. Macray, who is now passing through the
seventy-fifth year since he first entered the service of the Library, in 1840.
Our readers may wish to know the present position of Sir Thomas Bodley’s
Foundation among other libraries. In size and importance (taken
. . together) it is the greatest University Library, and the greatest
^cfthe^ Library not directly aided by the State. About seven rank above
Library. ^ world, but among English-speaking peoples only the British
Museum. It contains about 2,750,000 printed literary pieces* in
perhaps 860,000 bound volumes. There are also about 40,000 manuscripts, not

counting separate charters and deeds—^which number about 18,500. In the year
1913 the accessions were 97,795, of which 571 were manuscripts. The staff
consists of 68 persons. The number of readers averages more than 250 a day. The
normal income in 1913 may be stated as 1,700 and the expenditure as ^^12,000.
The financial position causes anxiety. A joint Committee of Council and Curators
have been unable to recommend a reduction of expenditure, if the efficiency of
the Library is to be maintained, and an Appeal for funds will shortly be issued,
of which the next number will contain a notice.
The objects with which the Bodleian Quarterly Record is started may be regarded
. as threefold : to provide readers in the Library and other residents
of the ^ the chief accessions of the last three months; to afford
Record some account of the various activities of the Bodleian, in the hope
of interesting a larger number in its work and progress; and to give
literary and personal information, both by notes on current events alid on
discoveries within the Library, and by printing extracts, documents, and essays
of permanent value. It is hoped that such a publication may incidentally serve
as a centre of Bodleian interests, and that all friends of the institution, whether
readers or not, will use it for the interchange of suggestions and ideas for the
improvement of the Library.
Contents
of the
Record.
Until the end of its first year the Quarterly Record must be considered as an
experiment only, since more than five hundred subscribers are
needed before it can be self-supporting, and many more than that
number if it is to increase in size and utility.
The divisions will be, as in the present number, (i) Notes and news,
(2) a list of Accessions, (3) Documents and Records. The first explains itself:
with regard to the second, the 550 or more titles here given, though selected
with some care, can only represent less than one out of every forty literary ‘ pieces ’
received in the quarter. But it will at least show some of the chief books recently
made accessible to the student; and the shelf-mark will as far as possible be given.
The third may develop in time into a valuable documentary series. For instance,
the Letters of Sir Thomas Bodley to Dr. James, his first Librarian, published
in haphazard order two hundred years ago by Hearne, might be printed in proper
chronological sequence; the Annals of the Library might be continued from
1880, where Dr. Macray’s history ends, to the present time; and autograph letters

or the like might be made public. On these questions the Editors invite

Calendar
of Claren¬
don State
Papers.
All State Papers should theoretically be in the Public Record Office, but a large
quantity have strayed into private hands or into public libraries.
The Bodleian possesses two large collections (the Clarendon and
the Carte MSS.) and two small ones (the Thurloe and the Pepys
papers). It is undoubtedly the duty of every owner of State Papers
to draw up and publish at least a calendar of them. Much has been
done by the Historical Manuscripts Commission, and the Thurloe and Pepys
papers are properly described in the Bodleian series of quarto catalogues, while of
the whole Carte collection there is a full manuscript Calendar in seventy-five folio
volumes, but for want of funds the Calendar of Clarendon State Papers
—the most important of the four—which was begun in 1869, has not been
carried beyond the third volume, ending with 1657, and published in 1876.
Thanks to a most welcome and generous benefaction from Mr. Vernon Watney,
who lives in. Clarendon’s country-house, now Cornbury Park, near Charlbury,
the Calendar has just been again started under the editorship of Mr. F. J.
Routledge, of New College, and the superintendence of Professor Firth, and is
planned to occupy three more volumes (including the index), to be finished in 1917.
Robert Winchelsea, archbishop of Canterbury, died in 1313, and at once became
an object of popular veneration, many miracles being wrought at
b^A^h In 1319 Thomas of Lancaster sent a report of his miracles
, to the Papal court with a view to procure his canonization, and in
Winchelsea * 3^7 Archbishop Reynolds revived the project and again sent to
the Pope a long schedule of miracles. The correspondence with the
Papacy has been printed in Litterae Cantuarienses (Rolls Series), iii. 398-402,
but no schedule of miracles has been recorded. A portion of the original roll
of 1319 or of that of 1327, containing three miracles, has been recently found
serving as fly-leaves of MS. Hatton 99. h. h. e. c.
In a recent preliminary report on Die Inventarisierung der VViegendrucke in
Grossbritannien (Zentralblatt fur Bibliothekstvesen, xxxi, p. 26),
Dr. E. Crous gives the following interesting estimate of the
number of fifteenth-century books in the four largest collections
in Great Britain:—^The British Museum, 11,500; the Bodleian, 5,600; the

Cambridge University Library, 2,800 ; the John Rylands Library in Manchester,
2,400. The total number of printed Incunabula is believed to be about
30,000.
For two and a half centuries the smallest manuscript in the Library has been
a volume measuring | in. square, bound in black leather with silver
ct .L j corner- and centre-pieces, and attached to a silver chain. The con-

tents are in shorthand, and were believed to be English prayers. In
Mr. Coxe’s time the chain was attached to a wooden ruler about eighteen inches
long, for fear the little book should pass out of existence accidentally. The clue
to its history had been wholly lost, until on August i, 1912, Mr. Alexander T.
Wright, who had published in 1911 a Life of Jeremiah Rich the semigrapher,
noticed the tiny volume on exhibition in a glass case, and suggested—what was
soon found to be true—that it was identical with a sermon written by Rich
in his peculiar stenography, and stated in a unique broadside issued by him soon
after 1654 (now in the British Museum) to be ‘ now shown in the Publick Library
in Oxford ’. Rich boasted that he could write so small that his pen could scarcely
be seen to move. See William Leybourn’s Mechanical Recreations in his Pleasure
with Profit (1694), p. 28 ; the Star^ November 2, 1912 ; Pitman's Journal^
November 23, 1912.
The subject of acceleration of the supply of books to readers is occupying the

of Books.
attention of a Committee of Curators, and the most modern American
methods for the purpose will probably be discussed at the Oxford
Meeting of the Library Association in September. It is admitted that
there is a considerable interval of time between the order for a book and the
reception of it. But the problem is wellnigh insoluble in an old and large library.
On the one hand the reader naturally desires a book the moment he has ordered
it. On the other hand the volume may be in a distant room, or even building,
and it would require an immense staff to enable a messenger to carry out each
individual order (there are about 380 each working day) as soon as it is handed in.
Moreover, the necessary processes of registering a book have to be gone through,
while the complications of the old collections and the new classification by subject
are considerable, and the state of the finances do not at present allow of any
enlargement of the staff. The subway, the use of which was begun on April 13
last, will conduce to economy of time, but cannot be expected to wor

wonders. Meanwhile readers may be reminded that if order-slips (filled up)
are sent to the Library by post, the books will be obtained and reserved at
their seats.
The Annual Meeting of the Library Association, which is to be held at Oxford
this year, from August 31 to September 4, is likely to be a notable
gathering, and about five to six hundred librarians are expected.
The contingent of American and Canadian library officials will be
unusually large, and the papers will be on wider and more generally
interesting subjects than are sometimes discussed on these occasions. The
Association has never met at Oxford since the first annual meeting in 1878, and
it is hoped that many Oxford residents will become members, at any rate for
the meeting, by payment of one guinea, or, if unable to be present, will con¬
tribute towards the inevitable expenses of organization and hospitality. Applica¬
tions for descriptive papers may be made to one of the two joint secretaries,
the Librarian of the Bodleian Library, and the Librarian of the Free Public
Library, Town Hall, Oxford; to whom also contributions may be sent. The
full programme will be given in the next number of the Record, which will be
published about the middle of July.

Surgeons.
The Provincial Association of Surgeons paid a visit to the Bodleian on March 27,
by invitation of Professor Sir William Osier, who read some notes
on the history of surgery in England. There was also an exhibition
of manuscripts and printed books illustrating the progress of surgery in England,
in which the Bodleian exhibits were supplemented by some rare books from the
Radclifie Library, and from the Professor’s own plentiful store. A remarkable
.VIS., the Breviarium Bartolomei’, a thick folio fifteenth-century volume by
John Mirfield, representing medical practice at the priory (now hospital) of
St. Bartholomew in London, was lent for the occasion by the Master and Fellows
of Pembroke College. The arrangement of the exhibition was undertaken by
Mr. H. H. E. Craster, sub-librarian.

AN ORATION OF CICERO
ENGLISHED BY QUEEN ELIZABETH
Queen Elizabeth was not averse from displaying her powers, and no less than twelve trans¬
lations by her from Greek, Latin, French, and Italian are still extant. The authors range
from Plutarch, Xenophon, Cicero, Horace, Seneca, and Boethius to Marguerite de Valois and
Bernardino Ochino. One of the twelve w'as re-discovered quite lately by Mr. H. Craster in
a manuscript presented to the Bodleian in 1629 by Patrick Young, librarian of the King’s

to be reclaimed, but which a late seventeenth-century list attributed doubtfully to the Queen.
It is certainly in her handwriting, and belongs to the latest period of her life, probably

where, she would call on her reserve powers to produce oratory worthy of the original, it
may be worth while to print the following specimen of the work.

III
SHAKESPEARIANA
(I)
It is well known that in Shakespeare’s time orthography was little accounted
of, and that Shakespeare himself would have considered the question of spelling
his name in one way and not another a mere waste of time. It is, however, worth
recording how the name struck the Bodleian officials who had to enter it in
the seven handlists of S. 2. 17 Art., when the First Folio was given that place
and mark in the Library. The entries are as follows, and were all written
in 1623 :—
Shak=sper
Shake-speare
Shakspeare
Shake-speare
Shake-speare
Shak=speare
Shake-speare
The testimony, so far as it goes, is obviously in favour of the form Shakespeare^
and of the present pronunciation of the word. It is curious that the single or
double hyphen should be used in six out of the seven entries.
(2)
When the Bodleian copy of the First Folio, received under the Stationers’
Company’s agreement in 1623 and subsequently sold, was recovered in 1905 at
the price of j^3,ooo, it was seen to be discoloured and even injured by constant
use, and advantage was taken of this defect to find out what plays were most
read by the young Bachelors of Arts who were allowed to read the chained folios
at the Arts End between 1623 and the Civil War, when all study went by the
board. A subtle but satisfactory argument shows that these signs of use are due
to that period and not to any later time. Each page w'as accordingly marked for
signs of wear and tear on a scale of one to ten. Some more or less valuable con¬
clusions emerged, w'hich, having only been printed in a little-knowm dissertation
he Original Bodleian Copy of the First Folio . . ., Oxford, 1905, folio) will bear
reproduction in short form in these columns.

The Tragedies were read most, the Histories least, the Comedies being
intermediate.
A certain number of readers began the Tempest because it was the first in the
volume: it is discoloured on the first few pages more than towards the end.
The list of plays in order of discoloration, excluding those below the average
of use, are :—
Romeo and Juliet
Julius Caesar
Tempest
then
(Hen. iv, pt. i
Macbeth
Cymbelinc
then
Merry Wives of Windsor
As You Like It
Timon of Athens
Hamlet
then
Love’s Labour’s Lost
Hen. V
iHen. VIII
(King Lear
It will be noted that the romantic play par excellence is first: as a fact the
most worn page of all is the one in that play which faces the well-known Balcony
Scene, beginning with the stage-direction, * Enter Romeo, and Juliet aloft ’. The
second is the warlike play, but Brutus and Cassius, and Mark Antony, may also
have been high in the estimation of the young graduates. Henry IV^ part i,
no doubt owes its eminence to Falstaff. On the whole this copy, in considera¬
tion of what has been said above, and of the fact that it alone came straight from
the publisher to a public institution, may be regarded as the most interesting
copy of the most valuable printed book in English literature.

PROTESTATION BY KING CHARLES I
MADE IN CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL AT OXFORD EARLY IN THE
SUMMER OF 1643
The Protestation which follows is the only record of an incident of some interest which
seems to have taken place in the Cathedral at Oxford in the presence of Archbishop Ussher
and the congregation. As the piece was printed in London there may be some slight doubt
of its authenticity, especially as the fortunes of the Royalists were just at their highest, and
a Protestant affirmation was less called for then than at a later time. Mercurius Aultcus does
not mention it. But London may have needed the news of it more than Oxford. Only two
copies are known, one in the British Museum, and one recently presented to the Bodleian by
Messrs. Mowbray & Co. It was printed in London about July il, 1643, and reprinted in
June 1648, again in London.
HIS MAJESTIES
LATE
PROTESTATION
Before His Receiving of the Sacrament.
His Majesty being to receive the Sacrament from the Hands of the Archbishop of
Armagh, used these Publique Expressions immediately before the blessed Elements;
He rose up from His knees, and beckning to Bishop Usher for short forbearance,
made this Protestation.
M y Lord, I espie here many resolved Protestants, who may declare to the
World, the Resolution I doe now make. I have to the utmost of my
power prepared my Soule to become a Worthy Receiver : And may I so
receive comfort by the blessed Sacrament, as I doe intend the establishment of
the true Reformed Protestant Religion, as it stood in its beauty, in the happy
daies of Queene Elizabeth, without any connivance of Popery. I blesse God,
in the midst of the publique Distractions, I have still Liberty to Communicate;
And may this Sacrament be my Damnation, if My Heart doe not joync with my
Lips in this Protestation.
Printed in the Teare of our Lord, 1643.

RICHARD GOUGH’S PARENTAGE
Richard Gough, Director of the Society of Antiquaries, who bequeathed to the Bodleian
at his death in 1809 a very large and valuable collection of printed and manuscript books and
maps on the topography of the British Isles, resided at Enfield, but his extensive autograph
collections relating to that place were not included in the bequest. They were fortunately
purchased by the Library in March last at Messrs. Sotheby’s, and were found to contain as
part of one of the volumes Gough’s autograph autobiography.
Most of this autobiography was printed from this MS. in Nichols’s Literary Anecdotes,
vol. vi (1812) at pp. 615-26, with notes: and full accounts of him are at pp. 262-343 of the
same volume, while Gough’s account of the family of Goughs of Oldfallings and Perry Hall,
with a large sheet pedigree, will be found in Shaw’s Staffordshire, vol. ii (1801), pp. 188-93.
It seems, however, worth while to complete his autobiography by printing the following
introductory part.
I was born Oct^ [altered from Nov’] 21. 1735 O.S. in the great front room up
one p’ of stairs of a house ' erected on the scite * of the Austin pr’' in Winchester
Street [London],
My father was . . . son of Harry G. of Perryhall c. Stafford, knted by C. 2 for
his assistance to the Royal Family by Loans &c. & as the G’s had always distinguisht
themselves by their attachm* to Governm* so it was my father’s praise that he
made no use of the confidence with w'*" s’ R. W.* then prime min’ honored him
to inrich himself. On the contrary when it was in his power to encrease his estate
by the purchase of the lands of R. Catholics contiguous to it, he declined the
opportunity. The same principle of Integrity carried him thro the various
offices he filled in the E. 1 . Co. whom he served as supercargo & chairman with
equal Impartiality & firmness. Proof against advantageous offers to warp him
& ag” malicious insinuat"* to deterr him from his duty, when he might have set
the example of amassing a Nabob’s fortune he rather impaired his own by sup¬
porting the Credit of the Comp, in their funds & in their commerce & the man
who refused the offers of their servants for his interest to advance them, left behind
him a debt contracted by borrowing of an E. I. Governor. His attention to
Pari' was as unremitted & if any man c** be said to fall a sacrifice at the close of
' Last inhabited by Mrs. Sambrooke (mother of the late Sir j. S.), who d. in it.
* Probably on the N. transept of its church, whose vault, I have been told, are the cellars of
the houses in Austin Friars up the paved court by the church.

70 years it was he—to the assiduous & conscientious discharge of his Duty. This
just & honest man whose Character I have never heard impeacht was my Father.
My mother was the grda. of a plain cottager in the co. of Dorset, whose ancestors
among the many of the name of Hinde in that Co. I have never been able to
ascertain. Chill Auhford or some such named place has been handed down to
me for it. But the Hindes occurr in more W. pts of the Co. A family who raise
themselves by their Industry are their own Ancestors. Three bro* of whom the
youngest was my maternal grandfa. came up to town abt the mid. of the last
Cent. & as they had nothing transmitted to em from the Cottage but the bell
metal settle & wooden cupboard they engaged in the brewery, married, as well as
their only sister, advantageously & left a numerous offspring who having got thro
the world with credit & a happy singularity of Temper enjqyd in succession their
respective fortunes.
A son & heir was the wish of every family who possest a patrimony on w'** the
happiness of past times permitted them to carry forward their views with pleasure.
I was born 12 ys after 3 sisters of whom the first & 3** but lived to call themselves
my Cotemporaries. The second survives to the present date, & as I have no
reflections of any alteration in our mutual affection for each other I trust it will
continue to the end of 6 lives.
That a child so much desired & the only male heir of his branch of the family
sh** be the darling object of maternal tenderness & sh** even awaken the partiality
of a father who had doated on his daughters is not to be wonder’d at. That he
sh** be kept under the eye of parents and never permitted to seek for Education
or Emulation abroad is still less surprizing. But however it may be accounted
Vanity it is surprizing how little he was hurt in the end by this false Partiality
& Confinement.

LETTER FROM SOUTHEY TO R. DUPPA
ENCLOSING WORDSWORTH’S TRANSLATION FROM MICHAEL ANGELO
Saturday, August 24, 1805.
Dear Duppa .
I am desired by Wordsworth to send you this sonnet, & to add how mortified
he is that he has not been able to translate any more. That the originals are
exceedingly difficult you need not be told, but you do not know how difficultly
Wordsworth can satisfy himself. This which he has done is, in my judgement,
a fine poem.
Sonnet X
Ben puh talor col mio ardente desio
Yes! hope may with my strong desire keep pace.
And I be undeluded, unbetray’d;
For, if of our affections none find grace
In sight of Heaven, then wherefore hath God made
The world which we inhabit ? Better plea
Love cannot have than that in loving thee
Glory to that Eternal Peace is paid.
Who such divinity to thee imparts
As hallows & makes pure all gentle hearts.
His hope is treacherous only whose Love dies
With Beauty which is lessened ‘ every hour :
But in chaste hearts uninfluenced by the power
Of outward change, there blooms a deathless flower
That breathes on earth the air of paradise.
Wm. Wordsworth.
Now to supply the deficit thus occasioned, if you wish it supplied & will send me
any prose translations—I will do my best once more. The Epitaph will be better
omitted altogether, for it has little but what is commonplace, & is moreover badly
^ This appears to be a better reading than the ‘ varying ’ of the printed editions of
Wordsworth.

versified. Sonnet V has in it something of Michel Angelos mind,—that aspiration
after the permanent & imperishable which breathes thro his poems : the word
heavenly cannot be substituted for beauteous^ because a word is necessary which
should imply something mortal & perishable. Lovely may be substituted, but this
would be alteration without amendment.
My removal towards London is adjourned sine die. I always calculated upon
possible disappointments,—and one has taken place which of all others was the
least to be expected or foreseen. To indemnify the Merchants whose property
has been confiscated in Spain, Government has thought proper to apply all the
Spanish prizes taken before a particular day : my brother’s were taken two days
too soon—& thus he loses 20 Oo£. Do not however suppose that I shall let him
sustain this loss without making some effort at redress for him. The measure is
so unprecedented & would be so unpopular that it is very probable the ministry
may give it up, if they be taken up well in the newspapers. I am trying to get the
Courier open to me, as being ministerial;—& will open as many batteries as I can
—if government will have the money, it shall pay its full price of unpopularity.
It is in fact robbing the sailors to indemnify the merchants : for the sailors calcu¬
lated & had a right to calculate upon their gains; & many Officers have received
money from their agents in advance which they are utterly unable to repay.
So much for my plans, which seem always to be thwarted. However dis¬
appointment sits very easy upon me. I have a happy faculty of making the best
of things:—Keswick is a lovely place—my great study a better room than will
ever fall to my lot elsewhere. If I want some conveniences & some enjoyments
here, there are on the other hand others which I should wish for in vain within
the atmosphere of London. So I shall beg Rickman to pack up for me another
box of books & remain here contentedly till the wind veers about in my favour.
I have been perambulating the whole of the Lake country with Dan—^walking
in the course of five weeks about five hundred miles. You may well suppose this
left no time for doing anything else. We saw the country thoroughly, & I am
happy to say I now feel myself able to insult all the Lakers & all the inhabitants.
What a grand book might be made of this track—like the Delices which the French
publish of Switzerland &c. I wish such a work were undertaken upon a magnificent
scale—some 20 or 30 guineas-worth, & should like much to join with Coleridge
& Wordsworth in furnishing the letterpress.
Roscoes book ^ is on my reviewing shelf. I nearly read it thro. It is that sort

of sweeping subject in which you hear something of everything, & not enough of
anything, a little about the French wars in Italy—a little about Italian literature
—a little about the Reformation—not the History of either. This is the fault
of the subject—not of the author. I suppose more persons will be disappointed
by the book, because they will expect something splendid, & there is nothing
splendid,—the splendour of Leo X evaporates upon paper, like the description of
fine music or of a good dinner.
Do not delay sending me any versions to versify—because I do not wish to
have your book delayed. A man who is going to put out either money or reputa¬
tion to interest—loses by delay.—Davy has been here—& Walter Scott with
whom we have all been highly pleased. I expect Elmsley, and shall probably go
on to Edinburgh with him. Edith M'* C M” L & Harry desire to be remembered.

God bless you

SONNET BY WORDSWORTH
(-
►published)
[On St. Mary’s Church, Cardiff]
When Severn’s swe^ing flood had overthrown
St. Mary’s Church^^he preacher then would cry
* Thus, Christian peopl\ God his might had shown.
That ye to him your We may testify;
Haste, and rebuild the Pilh ’—But not a stone
Resumed its place. Age alter age went by
And Heaven still lacked its due, though piety
In secret did, we trust, her loss bemoan.
But now her spirit hath put forth its claim
In power, and Poesy would lend her voice—
Let the new Church be worthy of\ts aim.
That in its beauty Cardiff may rej^oice!
Oh! in the past if cause there was for shame.
Let not our times halt in their better choice.

has received his letter of the 4*** In‘.
The Duke having no Patronage nor means of employment at his disposal is
very much disinclined to receive presents from Gentlemen, whos views in Life
he cannot promote.
He intreats M'' Halls to offer his Model of Southsea Castle to some other
Person.

London July i 1846.
F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his Compliments to M' Halls. He
has received his Letter of the 30*'' June.
The Duke has no recollection of having received a former letter from
Halls, & consequently no Inclosure.
He is invariably in the habit of returning original Papers the moment he
receives them, even before he answers the letters which convey them. If M*^ Halls
has not sent the document to which he refers, the Duke begs that he will not send
it; he cannot take charge of any original Paper and he declines positively and
distinctly to be responsible for the same.

In connexion with the Commemoration of Roger Bacon, the ‘ Doctor Mirabilis ’
of the later Schoolmen, on June lo, I9i4> there was an exhibition of
manuscripts and printed books, arranged by Mr. Craister in the
Bodleian Picture Gallery. The books exhibited were set out in
five divisions: (i) Manuscripts of his early works, up to the three great works
produced in 1266-8 (the Opera Majus, Minus, Tertium); (2) Alchemical and
Medical manuscripts; (3) Manuscripts of the later works; (4) Early printed
editions, in Latin and English; (5) Modern printed editions, showing the revival
of interest in the great Franciscan. Perhaps the only representations of him in
miniatures are at pp. i and 5 of a fifteenth-century manuscript of the De retarda-
tione Senectutis (Bodl. MS. 2927 = MS. Bodl. 211). The first depicts him on his
knees presenting his book to some great man, while in the second and more
interesting one he is seated in contemplation at the end of a loggia, with writing
materials by his side and a pupil taking observations from a window.
The Bodleian appears to possess the largest number of Baconian manuscripts.
In the long and elaborate bibliography by Mr. A. G. Little, which
closes the Commemoration volume {Roger Bacon^ Essays^ edited by
A. G. Little; Oxford, at the Clarendon Press, 1914), the citations of
manuscripts of separate works (if we omit those which are known to
be spurious) are as follows :
Bodleian, 109. Trinity College, Cambridge, 16.
British Museum, 72. The Vatican, 14.
Paris (Bibliotheque Nationale), 18. C.C.C., Oxford, 12.
Cambridge University Library, 16.
No other library is mentioned more than nine times, but there are important
manuscripts at Amiens, Douai, Erfurt, Florence, Milan, and Bologna. The total
number of citations is 371 -

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
An important event of the Long Vacation is the Oxford Meeting of the Library
Association, August 31 to September 4. The Association was founded
^ in 1877, and held its first Annual Meeting at Oxford in the autumn
of the following year. The Acting President of the Association on
that occasion was the Rev. H. O. Coxe, Bodley’s Librarian. As so long a time
had passed since a meeting took place in this city, the Curators of the Bodleian
Library (of whom the Vice-Chancellor is ex officio chairman) and the Mayor
and Corporation of the City invited the Association to come here—an invitation
which was unanimously accepted. A large meeting is expected (about 500
members and friends), and the papers are of a more general, but (it is hoped)
not less interesting, character than has lately been the case.
The programme of proceedings in outline is as follows: the Members and Visitors
assemble at Oxford on Monday, August 31, the Randolph Hotel
d’ ‘ being the head-quarters, and the Central Offices in the Town Hall.
rTogramme. ® . *1 »
There is one lecture on that evening on some features of Oxford.
Each of the three successive mornings is taken up with papers and discussions,
and at 6 p.m. other papers will be read. The early afternoons will be devoted
to the sights of Oxford and excursions to Nuneham by steamer and to Blenheim
by train. On Tuesday evening the Mayor holds a reception at the Town Hall,
and on Wednesday evening the Curators give a Conversazione at the Ashraolean
Museum. The last evening is, as usual, given up to the Conference Dinner, at
which there will be speeches. The Annual Business Meeting will be on Friday
afternoon, and will be the last fixture. A Provisional Programme and details
about hotels, lodgings, &c., can be obtained from either of the Local Secretaries
(the Librarian, Bodleian Library ; and the Librarian, City Library). Residents
in Oxford can become members for the meeting on payment of one guinea to
the first-named secretary, and each member may bring one lady without extra
payment, if he notifies beforehand his desire.
An ‘ Appeal on behalf of the Bodleian Library ’ has been issued by the Curators
of the Library, who ask for a large and permanent increase of the
regular income of the institution. A joint committee of Council and
the Curators have investigated the accounts, and have come to the
conclusion that reduction in the present expenditure is incompatible with effici Acy
in working and with proper and reasonable purchases of foreign books (largely

periodicals) and of older literature to fill up gaps. They consider that an addition
of j^i,200 a year is needed for the above purposes and for an increase of the staff
proportional to the increase of readers and of work for them. At present there is
an accumulated deficit, and if the Appeal is unsuccessful the work of the Bodleian
will be much hampered. Many periodicals will have to be stopped, purchases
of old books and manuscripts almost given up, and the service reduced in efficiency.
The Trustees of the Oxford University Endowment Fund, who by their liberal
help to the Library have relieved it of the need of further
for the present, have kindly added to the Appeal a covering letter
which emphasizes the urgent need of further endowment for the
purposes mentioned above. The signatories are the Prime Minister, Lords
Salisbury, Milner, and Balfour of Burleigh, and the late Sir William Anson on
behalf of the Trustees; and the Archbishop of York, and Lords Lansdowne,
Halsbury, Morley, and Bryce as cordially recommending the Appeal. The
Curators will welcome donations, however small, which may be sent to * The
Librarian, Bodleian Library, Oxford ’, or to the O. U. Endowment Fund,
49 Sloane Squafe, London, S.W., or to the Old Bank, High Street, Oxford.
Copies of the Appeal and Letter will be furnished on application.
Covering
Letter.
An example of the difficulties of the Library may be given. The Curators have
been considering the possibility of expediting the supply of books to
ofB k readers. Six or seven methods have been before them (including the
enlargement of the Upper Reading Room by the addition of a gallery
for books much in use which have at present to be ordered ; and changing the
status of the fetchers of books so that they should be on the permanent staff
and more experienced). But these require additional expenditure, and the
Curators have reluctantly decided to confine themselves to three steps which do
not involve extra expense. They have therefore instructed the Librarian (i) to
call attention to the privilege enjoyed by readers of ordering books (with shelf~
marks supplied) by post card, so that they may be ready when a reader arrives
(Readers^ Manual^ p. 7); (2) to emphasize the regulation (Staff Manual, p. 60,
No. 15) that when a book cannot readily be found the search for it should be
carried on by a Senior Assistant, so as not to delay the supply of other books
which have been speedily procured; (3) to make known to readers in general
that in any urgent case an endeavour will be made to send a special messenger

at once for a book, though this involves disturbance of the ordinary course. This
is as a fact the present practice, but is not among the printed regulations.
Sir Thomas Bodley was very solicitous that the Grande Album Benefactorum
should be openly and publicly displayed in his new library, now
Bene^ called Duke Humphrey or the Old Reading Room. The first 91
factorum are printed on parchment (London, 1604, large folio, in double
columns), and are a rare example of a single-copy printed edition.
From 1606 onwards the entries (which give both names of benefactors and details
of the donations) are calligraphically written, often with coloured arms and
ornamental capitals, to do honour to the donor. But the second volume ceases
half-way through, at about the year 1795, and no further donations are recorded,
no doubt because annual printed lists had been started (both of purchases and,
later, donations, with accounts) in 1780. It is now proposed to carry on the
Album by entering all the chief donations to date, treating them in three or four
classes or styles according to their importance.
The entries of the first two classes in the last ten years will be Lord Hythe (Upper
^ Reading Room fittings. Catalogue Revision, &c.), Mr. Beit (endow-
Benefac Indian Government (Tibetan books). Subscribers (the
tions. Monro library of Homeric literature, the old Bodleian First Folio of
Shakespeare, and Erasmus letters), Mr. Vernon Watney (Calendar of
Clarendon State Papers, &c.). Sir Chandra Shum Shere (6330 Sanskrit MSS.),
the Oxford University Endowment Trustees (the Underground Book-store, the
Subway and Lift, and monetary help), an Ex-Prize-Fellow (^(^1,000), Lord Rose¬
bery (j(^i,ooo), Mr. Wardrop (the Georgian collection), Mr. R. Cardwell (j^2,ooo),
the Duchess of Albany (Prince Leopold’s Autographs), Dr. Paget Toynbee and
Mr. 1 . Bywater (books), and Mr. Edmund Backhouse (a large Chinese library,
to which he is making munificent additions). We believe it to be in accordance
with our Founder’s wishes to carry on thus the long list of those who have con¬
tributed to build up the Bodleian.
The Shelley collection has received some recent additions. Lady Mary Shelley
has presented the poet’s nursery rattle with ‘ B. S. 1792 ’ engraved
on it. It was apparently a christening gift, and consists of a gilt
rattle with bells, a whistle at one end, and a piece of red coral at the
other. The poet must have made his nursery intolerable, at least for other poets.

Mr. Percy £. Williams, grandson of Shelley’s friend, Captain Williams, has made a
gift of his grandfather’s watch, which he handed to his wife before he stepped into
the fatal boat in which he and Shelley were drowned oflF Leghorn, July 8, 1822.
The Divinity School is the finest room in Oxford for carved stone-work. It was
built and ornamented between about 1425 and about 1480, at which
latter date the Old Reading Room of the Bodleian was added above
it. The beautiful Caen-stone bosses and other carvings have been
lately with much care dusted and cleaned, and the opportunity was
taken of having photographs made of nearly all the details. A small syndicate
composed of the Provosts of Queen’s and Oriel, the President of Corpus, the
Principal of Brasenose, Sir WUliam Osier, Mr. Madan, Mr. Gamlen, Mr. Salter,
Mr. Manning, and Mr. Gibson, arranged with Mr. F. H. Crossley that he should
take the photographs, and presented the results (199 sheets in all) to the Library.
They give a good idea of the delicacy and finish of the carving, and the amount
of care and work bestowed on this fine ceiling and on the doorways at each end.

‘His Majesties Late Protestation, before his receiving of the Sacrament’ is the title
^ of a very rare Civil War broadside issued in 1643 (Steele 2451, Madan
at Oxford reprinted at p. 26 in our first number. The fact
that the only known copy (in the British Museum) was printed in
London, and not Oxford, and the language, made it perhaps doubtful whether it
were not a forgery calculated to encourage some London Royalists. A few months
ago, as was stated, Messrs. Mowbray, publishers, of Oxford, submitted for inspection
a second copy, which turned out to be another London edition (in which Steele’s
test runs resolved — my —my, instead of resolved — now —my), also unique, which
the firm most kindly presented to the Bodleian. Strange to say, about a month
ago a second copy of the British Museum edition turned up in a bookseUer’s
catalogue, and is now in Oxford. This last bears a contemporary note that the
actual day of the Protestation was Whitsunday, May 21, 1643, and on the whole
the speech may be accepted as historical.
Mrs. Coxe, widow of the Rev. H. O. Coxe, Bodley’s Librarian from i860 to 1881,
. was much interested in English Fonts, and made a large number of
of Fa^s drawings of them, which together with such other drawings
as she acquired reach a total of 2400. These, having been arranged
and mounted in twenty volumes by the kind offices of Miss Wroughton, of Oxford,

have been presented by the Rev. Hilgrove Coxe, in memory of his mother. He
has also recently given an admirable portrait of * Bodley Coxe which represents
him, not with the long, set face of the ofRcial portrait, but as he was in ordinary life.
Two valuable tapestry maps belonging to the Library are now on exhibition at
the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The art of tapestry
was introduced into England by William Sheldon of Weston Hall,
^ * Warwickshire, in Queen Elizabeth’s time, and his workmen produced
at least five large maps of parts of England as their first productions. These
lined the walls of Weston Hall until a sale took place there, at which Horace
Walpole purchased three maps, or what remained of them, for ,^30. Walpole
presented them to Lord Harcourt, who in 1787 built a special room to hold them,
at Nuneham. These appear to be now at York, and are also temporarily on
exhibition in London, but the colours have faded, and the maps are not in very
good condition. Large fragments of the other two maps were purchased at the
same sale by Richard Gough, and came with his collections into the Bodleian
in 1809. These are in good condition, and have been carefully re-backed. The
two pieces represent respectively Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire,
&c., and Oxfordshire and Berkshire, with parts of Gloucestershire and Middlesex.
The maps will be returned to Oxford in the autumn, and will probably be shown
in the Picture Gallery in their renovated condition.
The illustration shows the Old Reading Room as viewed from the Arts End, looking

Room. 1602. The panels above bear the arms and motto of the University,
. and at the intersections of the beams are the arms of the Founder.
Most of the books have the shelf-marks which they bore in 1614, Theology
occupying all the left-hand (south) side, and Law and Medicine the north side.
Sir Thomas Bodley’s bell (dated 1611) is in the far window, and gilt busts of the
Earl of Pembroke (left) and Archbishop Laud (right), both Chancellors of the
University, guard the entrance to the fairway. Nearer to the spectator are busts
of Bodley (left) and of Charles I (right). The study between Charles I and Laud
has always been the ‘ Museum ’ (whence the name of a collection of manuscripts

that of the ‘ Hypobibliothecarius *, The walls are of the fifteenth century.

At the present time (July 27) the number of persons who have taken the first
number of the B. Q. R. is about 270. A Curator has generously
Record himself the deficit on this number, but from now the loss
will fall on the Library itself. The number of subscribers required
to make the Record self-supporting is about 500, and unless we can get within
measurable distance of that number, we may have to confine ourselves to the
List of Accessions, and a note or two preceding it. Still, 270 purchasers at the
first start may be regarded as encouraging.

II. LATIN EXPLICITS AND INCIPITS
(Chiefly from Bodleian MSS.)
When a scribe had ended his task and finished a volume, an immense feeling of relief came
over him. This naturally expressed itself in various ways, in pious reflexions or aspirations,
in expressions of fatigue, in demands for reward, in resentment and menace, or in humour.
All these are reflected in the following specimens from Bodleian manuscripts, which in some
cases are individual enough to identify writers if and when they recur. The number appended
is that of the Bodleian Summary Catalogue of Western MSS. The Librarian can often supply
additional references, and the Ust could of course be very largely extended.

It b hoped that all who wish well to the Bodleian Library will become subscribers to the Bodleian
Record^ which is issued by the Staff of the Library under the sanction of the Curators. It is intended
to be interesting and useful to readers in the Library, to Oxford residents, and to a wider literary circle.
It will be issued about the midd c of January, April, Julv, and October.
The price is 6 d, (net, prepaid) per number, deliverea free in Oxford, and jd. post free to addresses in
the United Kingdom. Subscription for a year is therefore is, (or is, 4^., post free), and for three yean
6 s, (or 7/., post free). Life subscription is [1,
Subscriptions, donations, and correspondence may be addressed to * The Librarian, Bodleian Library,
Oxford \ and any sum sent in excess of immediate requirement will be reserved, if desired, as payment
for future numbers.

NOTES AND NEWS
The outbreak of war on August 4 has affected the Library in several ways. One
The War Assistant has gone, and two more may soon go; three of the class
of Minor Assistants have joined the colours; and even of the Junior
Assistants two have joined the Territorials. We have lost also four of the Extra
Staff, and two more will probably soon follow. Altogether, out of a staff of
about sixty-eight, fifteen will probably be our minimum loss by the end of the
year. The Curators are keeping open all positions vacated by the Regular Staff,
and are continuing part of their salaries, according to the needs of each particular
case. On the other hand, the number of readers is less, and except at the Camera,
where the women-students are as numerous as ever, the usual pressure of Term
is not so great. If the supply of books is not quite as rapid as could be wished,
we hope that our readers will impute it in some measure to the necessities of
the time.
Military
Service.
The following members of the Staff of the Library have joined the
Army :—
Senior Assistant. Mr. W. H. B. Somerset (2nd Lieut., Territorials).
Temporary Assistant to Dr. Cowley. Mr. A. Guillaume (Kitchener’s Army).
Minor Assistants. Mr. S. C. Horton (Yeomanry).
Mr. A. F. Pratt (Kitchener’s Army).

Mr. P. J. Hodges (2nd Lieut., Kitchener’s Army).

Four more at least are likely to leave. Our best wishes go with them for
a speedy and safe return. The loss is ours : the country gains.
The death (on June 4) of the Right Hon. Sir William Anson, Warden of All
Sir W. R.
Anson.
Souls, M.P. for the University, has deprived the Library of one of
its most active, experienced, and beneficent Curators. The following
resolution was unanimously adopted by the Curators at their meeting
on June 13 :—
‘ The Curators of the Bodleian Library desire to put on record their sense of the heavy loss
the Library has sustained by the death of their colleague, the Warden of All Souls College.
For a period of more than twenty years Sir William Anson served as a Curator of the Library
and took the warmest interest in all its work, aiding it not only from time to time by munificent
pecuniary liberality but guiding it in many difficult circumstances by wise counsel and sage
advice. Rarely was he absent during his long tenure of office from any of the Meetings of
Curators, while he willingly served from time to time as member of numerous important
Committees. In many reforms of the Library he was actively participant, and it may be
particularly recalled that in the recent translation and redrafting of the Bodleian Statute he took
a very considerable part. Finally, it should not be overlooked that to his zeal and influence
the recent generous benefactions made to the Library by the University Endowment Trustees,
the Radcliffe Trustees, and the College of All Souls, have in no small measure to be attributed.’
The postponement of the Library Association Meeting announced to be held
Library
Association
Meeting.
on August 31 to September 4 at Oxford, has caused much disappoint¬
ment. The preparations and programme were practically completed,
and a large number of British and Foreign Librarians had been ex¬
pected. The seriousness of a state of war, and the interference, not
merely with the plans of our visitors and their power of being present, but also
with the quietude and calm needed for a literary congress, necessarily upset all
calculations. But it is no use giving * thirteen reasons * for giving up the idea,
when the fact is that the rooms in which we should have met had been com¬
mandeered for other purposes. At present the meeting stands adjourned tiU
next year, but unless peace is concluded by the middle of the summer, it may
again have to be put off. The usual business meeting was held in London, and
much that has been done as preparatory work will be of service whenever we
next welcome the Association, but we can hardly expect an equally distinguished
set of visitors, and none, it is to be feared, from Germany.

Shelley’s Epithalamium, beginning * Night, with all thine eyes look down is
j known in several recensions, differing considerably in setting and
f P '/A detail. It first appeared as an interlude or song for boys and girls
lamium ’ Promise^ a dramatic play by Shelley’s friend. Captain E. E.
Williams, and has been printed in that form from Trelawny’s manu¬
script copy. On July 25 last Captain Williams’s grandsons, Messrs. Percy E.
and John W. Williams, made a welcome present to the Bodleian of all that
remains of Williams’s autograph manuscript of the play (Acts ii, iv, and v), and
the poem occurs written in the volume in Shelley’s own hand. Trelawny’s copy
appears to be accurate, as printed in the Oxford Shelley^ but it is desirable to
record that the original can now be consulted.
Among the bibliographical events of this year not the least important was the
discovery, by P. M. Barnard, M.A., the well-known bookseller of
r Tunbridge Wells, of copies of a Latin Indulgence issued by Pope
Incuna I^iiocent VIII on behalf of the Hospital of St. James at Compostella
bulutn. printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1498.
The find is one of more than ordinary interest and importance
owing to the connexion between these Indulgences and Caxton, for they are
printed in his type. No. 7, which was used for the J. de Gigliis Indulgences of
1489. Henry Bradshaw, who discovered the connexion between the 1489 Indul¬
gences, which as usual were printed anonymously, and Caxton, made the further
discovery that this type was used once more in the edition of the Speculum vitae
Christi printed by W. de Worde in 1494. These were the only known instances
of its use, and it was generally thought to have been discarded after 1494. Speci¬
mens of this type were exceedingly rare; in fact only one was in private hands,
the rest being all in public institutions. Consequently, until the recent discovery,
the chance of the Bodleian ever becoming possessed of a specimen was exceedingly
small. The unexpected, however, has happened and we now possess a piece of
printing in Caxton’s rarest type. G. D. A.
A query addressed to the Bodleian has called attention to a curious misreading in a
, large number of old editions of the Prayer Book Version of the Psalms.
curious known that that version is taken ultimately from Coverdale’s
translation and proximately from the Great Bible, or Cromwell’s Bible,
printed in 1539 ; and that when the time of revision came it was felt to be better

adapted for public singing than the more accurate rendering of the Authorized Ver¬
sion (of l6i i). Psalm xxxvii. 29 runs in the Prayer Book Version, ‘The unrighteous
shall be punished : as for the seed of the ungodly, it shall be rooted out But
in the quarto Bible of 1553 (Cranmer’s, founded on the Great Bible) the first
clause runs, ‘ The righteous shall be punished The astonishing thing is that
in every edition of the Common Prayer Book Psalms from that date (1553)
to 1661, whether issued separately or in its place in Prayer Books, or where that
Version occurs in the Great Bible, Bishops’ Bible, or Geneva Bible, that appalling
misprint appears to occur ! The Punishment of the Righteous must have been
proclaimed by hundreds of the clergy and by thousands of devout worshippers,
during more than a century.
One more effect of the war is to reduce the size of the Record. It is prudent
to take the opportunity of temporarily reducing the cost of pro-
B O R duction by omitting the usual illustration, shortening the ‘ Notes
and News ’, and keeping back some ‘ Documents and Records
The material is ample, but the deficit on the first number (inevitably an expensive
one to produce) was 8/. ^d.y most generously paid by a Curator. The list
of early Greek manuscripts at p. 73, compiled by Mr. Craster, will, it is hoped,
be of permanent use to scholars. Similar lists will appear in future numbers.
In our next issue we hope to give a notice of Mr. Strickland Gibson’s recent
work. Some Oxford Libraries^ which includes an account of the Bodleian.
The following notice has been circulated in the Bodleian Reading Rooms : By
desire of the Curators, and in view of the fact that the financial
of Books Library does not at present admit of additional
expenditure on the arrangements for the supply of books to Readers,
attention is called to the facilities already given for ordering books by post.
A postcard sent to the Library giving the shelf-mark, author’s and reader’s name,
will ensure that the book be sent for (and reserved for the Reader) as soon as
the card is received (see the Manual for Readers, p. 7). Also any book urgently
required at any time will, if possible, be obtained at once by a special messenger,
as is at present the practice.

I. ADDRESS FROM LOUVAIN, 1902
[The melancholy fate of the Library of the University of Louvain reminds us of the Address
sent by that University on the occasion of the Tercentenary of the Bodleian in 1902, and we
now print it as of special interest at this time. It is not mere academic rhetoric, but an
interesting account of the connexion between the two Universities. The Louvain Library
contained about 230,000 volumes, of which over 300 were fifteenth-century printing, and
350 manuscripts. It is sad to relate that a manuscript in private hands at Louvain had quite
recently been reported to contain many original letters of Erasmus and his contemporaries.
Books are difficult to destroy by burning, and it is therefore permissible to indulge a hope
that the destruction has not been so complete as in the similar catastrophe which befell the
Strassburg library in the Franco-German war.]

If University and College teachers are less hard worked, it may not be so necessary
as hitherto to rush away in the Vacations for a rest, and even in Term an hour
or two might be ‘ put in ’, and some hobby resumed and carried many stages
further. Now that every manuscript is indexed, and every printed book entered
in the General Catalogue, a wide field for exertion is open; and even if subjects
for work have not been definitely chosen, reference to the Catalogues or to the

material for original research, if the spirit to take it up is not wanting.

By the death of Professor Ingram Bywater—an honoured name in Oxford and
wherever the finest strain of literary criticism is valued—the Bodleian
n * becomes possessed of a large and choice library of books. Chaucer’s
^ * Clerk of Oxenford had
‘ at his beddes heed
Twenty bokes, clad in blak or reed.
Of Aristotle and his philosophye’,
and this is precisely the general description of the Bywater Collection, but in
such fine condition and so attractive in binding and appearance is it that we
need not fear the effect which followed in the case of the aforesaid Clerk,
‘ As lene was his hors as is a rake.
And he nas nat right fat, I undertake ;

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
Many of our readers will remember Mr. Bywater as Regius Professor of Greek
in succession to Jowett and as the founder of the Aristotelian Society at Oxford,
or have read his comparatively few publications, such as his editions of the Poetics
and Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle, but only his personal friends know how
he superadded to highly trained critical powers and intimate knowledge of the
humanists and scholars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a fund of
shrewd observation and enjoyment of modern life, and a most amiable though
reserved temperament. For many years he was a Curator of the Bodleian, and
took an active part in its administration.
‘The
In 1911 Mr. Bywater printed for his own use and for private circulation an octavo
list of the older works in his possession, delightfully entitled ‘ Elenchus
« librorum vetustiorum apud ♦ ♦ hospitantium ’, and dedicated to
Collection Legrand, the author of the Bibliographic Hellenique (9 vols.,
1885-1903). The name of the owner was carefully concealed, but by
a freak of fortune the foot of page i exhibits the tell-tale legend i b ! All
the books in the 142 pages of this List, with additions in an interleaved copy
of acquisitions since April 1911, he bequeathed to the Bodleian, with an express
wish that for at least twenty-one years they should be kept together. It is hoped
that they will be for ever kept as the Bywater Collection, and that the room in
which they will stand may also bear his name. As has been stated, most of
these books have relation to Aristotle and the great scholars who directly or
indirectly threw light on his views or on the text of his works. Nearly all were
printed before 1650. With his books, as with Mark Pattison’s books, the fact
that any particular work was in his library is a testimony to its worth. Each
one he knew, as it were, personally, and each one received from him just and
genial appreciation. It is the despair of those who have to deal with books to
be counted by tens of thousands that they cannot hope to rival his individual
care for the friends who stood silent round him in serried ranks and helped him
in his hours of study.
Some of our readers may be impatient of these general statements, and the
following statistics, derived from the printed List and therefore not
inclusive of the additions since 1911, may be welcome. The List
contains 3,622 separate works, of which, for instance, 171 are entries
under Aristotle, 39 under Galen, 44 under J. J. Scaliger, 37 under H. Stephanus,

and under a comparatively little-known writer like Fortunatus Licetus 26. Fifty-
three bear De Thou’s arms pn their binding, and a like number have manuscript
marginalia by such scholars as Boissonade, Casaubon, Justel, Nodier, Peiresc,
Pithou, Porson, Salmasius, and J. J. Scaliger, and 185 bear autographs of several
of the above and of Baluze, Sir Kenelm Digby, Gronovius, the two Heinsius,
Kulencamp, Labbaeus, Racine, Wyttenbach, and the like. A copy of the Com-
mentatio de Anima of Melanchthon (1540) bears the rare autograph * Francisci
Rabelesi Kal rtav avrov <f>CK<av\ The Incunabula number 152, of which 31 are
Greek : the books printed in the first half of the sixteenth century are 1,159
(459 Greek), of which no less than 414 are from Paris presses, of which Mr. Bywater
made a special study, as might be deduced from his possessing 41 volumes from
the rare press of Gilles Gourmont. Enough has perhaps been said to show the
value of the collection, especially when it is remembered that the study of
Aristotle has been a primary part of the Arts Course at Oxford for at least six
hundred years.
Those strange documents called Ostraca—Egyptian potsherds bearing receipts,
^ lists of taxes, short agreements and the like in Greek, Demotic or
, * Coptic—appear to be limited in number and to come from a few
definite sites in Egypt. Thanks to previous donations, especially from Mr. J.
Grafton Milne, the Bodleian has already possessed about 450 specimens, but a recent
benefaction from Professor Sayce of about 3,000 more, the result of many years
of residence in Egypt, makes the Bodleian collection the largest in the world.
The donor writes that most of the ostraca are in Greek, but some in Demotic, in
Demotic and Greek, in Coptic, and in Arabic : these latter are rare. The collection
contains the only ostraca found at El-Kab, Gebelen, and Kom Ombo, with a few
from Elephantine. The majority are the receipts of the tax-gatherers and other
officials of the Greek and Roman ages of Egypt, and are consequently of high
importance for the study of the social and economic conditions, as well as of the
chronology of the country during that period. A considerable proportion of the
ostraca used by Wilcken for his economic history of Egypt in the Graeco-Roman
Age are about 200 of the Sayce collection, which also contains letters, indifferent
verses, horoscopes, and extracts from classical writers and (Coptic) sermons.
Every ordinary ostracon is accurately dated, and the philological value of the
bilingual Greek and Demotic specimens need not be pointed out. A good many
of the Coptic ostraca, and some of the Demotic, are already known to scholars.

but with the exception of the 200 mentioned above none of the Greek have been
as yet published. The thanks of the University were conveyed to Professor Sayce
by Decree of Convocation on December 12, 1914.
In addition to the list given at p. 59 in No. 3 of the Bodleian Quarterly

making a total of sixteen out of a Staff of seventy-six :

Extra Staff. Mr. R. V. Wilsher (South Lancashire Regt.).
Mr. F. H. James (13th Royal Scots).
Mr. R. B. White (Q.O.O.H.).
The greater part of the work done by these sixteen has been taken up by other
members of the Staff, to whom grateful appreciation is due, but the limit of
such transference has been already reached and, as the Staff Manual of January i,
1915, shows, the services of Miss Walpole, of the Catalogue Revision Staff, have
been requisitioned with her consent, and the experience she is gaining of the
work of the Old Reading Room will, we hope, be of service to her in whatever
library work she may in the future take up.

Papers.
The counties and archdeaconries of Oxfordshire, Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire,
which make up the Diocese of Oxford, form, taken together, more
nearly a circle, with the Cathedral City in the centre, than is the
case with any other English diocese. Perhaps some such considera¬
tion weighed with the Curators in 1878 when they accepted the charge of a large
mass of manuscript records of the three archdeaconries prior to 1850. These
were bound at the time in. 542 volumes, described in the Summary Catalogue
under Nos. 25579-26120. Some further Oxfordshire papers were received in 1900
and in 1913, and a large consignment of Buckinghamshire records, hitherto
preserved (or rather, if the truth be told, allowed to exist) at Aylesbury, arrived
in 1914, and is now being examined and sorted by the Rev. Canon Oldfield,
Vicar of Culham, as a labour of love. And it is possible that further acces¬
sions may be received in the present year. It cannot be regarded as inappropriate
that the Bodleian, with its central position and its facilities for cataloguing and
making accessible such accessions, should be the depository of local records of
what have always been considered our Home Counties.

Following the exchange of Incunabula in 1913, the British Museum has presented
about 2,850 duplicate printed books of varied kind, including a long
run of the official Gazette of Belgium (the Moniteur Beige^ 1851-82),
which the Bodleian is glad to possess. They include also a series of
172 volumes of editions of Don Quixote. This benefaction is especially
valuable at a time when the purchasing power of the Library is so
much reduced.
Donation
from
British
Museum.
The University has been strictly inquiring of the Heads of all its institutions
p whether they could give up any part of the sums paid to them under
Economies Decrees of Convocation, in view of its own diminished
receipts and the probable reduction of College contributions during
1915. The Bodleian has been reluctantly obliged to reply, though the subject
has not yet come before the Curators, that by the testimony of the three bodies
w'hich concurred in an appeal on behalf of the Library in 1913 and 1914—namely,
the Hebdomadal Council, the Curators, and the University Endowment Fund
Trustees—not less than j^i,200 a year more is needed to render the Library
efficient, and that a reduction of income in such circumstances could only be
contemplated with dismay. Something is gained by the absence of members of
the Staff, jomething by the part payment of the Murphy bequest, something
by the reduction of the inflow of literature (especially German); but the general
work—which, it should be remembered, goes on through Term and Vacation alike
—is hardly at all lessened, and some necessary expenses which are impending make it
impossible at the present moment to offer to reduce the annual subventions from
the University Chest. The position will probably be clearer in the Summer Term.

Mr. Strickland Gibson has published at the University Press a little book of
119 pages on Some Oxford Libraries, in which he has traced the
r\ f j fortunes of the ancient University Library in St. Mary’s Church,
Libraries * Duke Humfrey’s Library, and Bodley’s Library, and has in addition
given some account of the principal College Libraries of Oxford, both
those of the mediaeval type and the more imposing structures of the eighteenth
century. The volume is of the sime format as the Warden of Wadham’s Oxford
Degree Ceremony, and forms an excellent and well-illustrated handbook for the
use of visitors to Oxford, and also, one may add, for Oxford residents who wish
to know more than is to be gathered from the ordinary guide-books. The fifth
chapter contains an account of the most interesting of the books exhibited in the
glass cases in the Bodleian, and from it the reader will learn something of the

special value attaching to each of them. One thing, however, he would not
learn from the fascinating account of the Bodleian First Folio of Shakespeare,
namely, that the identification of this precious lost volume was due to Mr. Gibson;
and unless he already possesses an intimate knowledge of the history of Bodley’s
Library, he may fail to realize the extent to which this little volume gives new
information which he will not find in larger works of reference. This is especially
true of the sixth chapter, dealing with the history of the Oxford book-trade and
of Oxford bindings, a subject which the writer has made his own. H. H. E. C.
The

and the
Annual
Report.
One effect of the publication of the Bodleian Quarterly Record will be to relieve
the Report of the Curators, made every year to Convocation and
printed in the
‘ satisfying prose
Of the Oxford University Gazette^,
of some details and of some general description. The latter will
contain all that is proper to an official paper, while the Record can
indulge, as occasion suggests, in a more discursive and descriptive style, and
being produced every quarter will be a prompter means of disseminating news.
The Editors do not despair of exciting correspondence and discussion on points
of administration which may be improved or justified by such means: a Report
cannot possibly afford this convenience. If more subscribers are gained, it may
be quite possible to start during this year the Annals of the Library from 1880,
where Dr. Macray’s Annals cease, as well as to continue the Lists of MSS. (Greek,
Latin, Illuminated, &c.) already begun and, we believe, appreciated.
Staff
Manual
and its
parts.
We may remind our readers that, while the Staff Manual for 1915 is as usual
only presented to those who are concerned with the adminis¬
tration of Libraries, certain parts of it of more general interest will
be given to any one who may apply for them. These are the ‘ Rules
for the Author Catalogue of Printed Books ’, including Music, (pp. 89-
104 of the Manual), the ‘ Manual for Readers and Visitors ’ (pp. 129-
45), which contains a list of the printed Catalogues of the Library (from 1605)
and short Annals, and the ‘ Subject Index ’ for the arrangement of Library
Records (pp. 107-28), w-hich contains a complete list of the Manuscript and
Printed Collections. This latter will next year have a note of the number of
volumes in each manuscript collection and a more extended description of its
subj ect.

It may be of interest to our readers to have some statistics of the number of
readers in the Bodleian, both at Bodley and at the Camera, between
May I, 1913, and April 30, 1914, a normal year. The figures are
based on observations taken at certain hours every day, and from
a comparison betw’een these and the actual number who entered on ten carefully
chosen days. In a future number, as promised in the Annual Report for 1913
(p. 557), a comparison will be given of readers at various periods since 1865. The
total number of readers in the whole Library was 78,000, or an average of 260
on every day when the Library was open. At Bodley, there were rather more
than 24,000 (or 82 a day), of which women composed one quarter. The
highest daily averages were in October and May, the lowest in December. The
largest attendance on any one day was 102 on April 30, and the smallest 49
on April 17, mid-day being the most crowded time. There is little difference
between Term and Vacation in the numbers. The number of ordinary seats
is 87, one more than at the Camera. No less than 54,000 readers made use of the
Camera—which is open till 10 p.m.—and of this total the women formed about
30 per cent., but in the mornings 40 per cent. The highest averages were in
February and November, and the lowest in July, the daily average for the year
being 178. The largest attendance on any one day was 331 on November 26,
and the smallest 87 on September 16. Here, too, 11-12 is the most crowded
time; and 4 p.m. the least crowded. There is a marked difference between Term
and Vacation, the attendance falling off in the latter. This shows, if proof were
needed, that the Camera is largely used by men and women who * go down ’ in
Vacation.

I. POEMS ON THE FOUNDER AND THE LIBRARY IN 1613
The following pieces are extracts from the Poems printed to commemorate our Founder’s
Death on January 28, 1613, namely, Justa Fumbria Ptolemcei Oxoniensis and BodUiomnema^
the latter being entirely composed by Merton men. Most of the poems are very rhetorical
and avoid detail, but the following extracts contain references to facts which are of some
interest and deserving of record. It wiU be kept in mind that almost all the writers had seen
the Bodleian come into being and grow before their eyes, so that every allusion is that of an
eyewitness. The extracts have generally been chosen to illustrate the Library rather than
the Founder, and are fair specimens of the style of the period.
From Justa Funebria Ptolemcei Oxoniensis.
S I sint vivaces hominum monumenta libelli,
Nomine si dignos Musa perire vetet:
Quam famae (Bodleie) tuae monumenta supersunt
Plurima? quamque tibi est debita longa dies!
Xcc justum reor, vt Mors, quae tamen omnibus vna
Dicitur, aequali sit tibi lege data.
Ergo Mortalis quod vitae Fata negSrunt,
Concedet serae Posteritatis Amor.
Et nova consurgens olim testabitur aetas,
Quam dignus fueris non potuisse mori.
Gvil. Lavd Sac. Theol. Doct. Coll. Johan. Freeses.
In puero tantus discendi erat impetus, ipse

NOTES
(1) When Bodley in 1598 made his offer to the University to restore the Library, Laud was taking
his Master of Arts degree, and at this time (1613) was President of St. John’s. He had every opportunity
therefore of knowing Bodley personally. The immortality which Laud confidently predicts for the
Founder has in a sense been conferred on Laud by the Bodleian Library, which holds in high honour
the Laudian collection, both of manuscripts and coins. The busts of both still almost face each other
at the Arts End.
(2) Dr. Robert Pinke, afterwards Warden of New College, traces Bodley’s history. It was Dr. Lawrence
Humphrey, President of Magdalen, who led Bodley to admire Duke Humphrey’s building. The Dadala
tecta is the only known reference to the ceiling of Duke Humphrey’s library, and makes it possible
that the coloured panels of the present roof are to some extent imitations of the original, with the additions
of Bodley’s arms at the intersections of the beams. It is a quaint conceit to picture the book {fiber) as
being so contented as not to wish to be free {fiber) from its chain. In the last lines Pinke plays, as so
many of the versifiers do, on Bodley’s motto Quarta perennis erit. The interpretation can only be, with
reference to the three crowns on his arms, that the fourth is the heavenly crown of immortality.
( 3 ) > (4)* T-shaped library formed by the addition of the Arts End to ‘ Duke Humphrey ’ gave
a welcome point to the versifiers. It became an H when the Selden End was finished in 1640.
(5), (6). Even the 1605 Catalogue will give examples of all or nearly all the languages here referred
to. The writer of (5) is of course the ever memorable author of the Anatomy of Melancholy.
(7) The incident is related in Macray’s Annals of the Bodleian, 2nd ed., p. 33.
(8) I. Shermarius seems to have left no trace of himself in the University or Exeter College registers,
nor in the list of extranei admitted to read in the Bodleian.
(9) Nature is represented as embracing the image of Bodley dead: a reference to the bust, which,
as a marginal note shows, was even then in the position where it still is, having been presented by the
Earl of Dorset in 1605.
(10) Cappur plays on the idea that Sir John Bennet will complete what Bodley has begun. Jungalur
in unum implies that the building of the new Schools began at the east side of, the quadrangle with the
Tower, and gradually extended to join itself with the older Arts End.
(11) A reference to Bodley’s Grande album benefactorum, still displayed at the Arts End.
(12) A wilder flight of fancy can hardly be imagined than this, which describes the Founder as seeking
in Heaven the only book wanting in the Library—the Book of Life ! Curaturus is a reference to the
proper work of the Curators of the Bodleian, see p. 108 (‘ Curating books ’). We should be glad to
identify ‘ I. V., Mag. in Art. ex ^de Christi ’.
(13) For the incident see Macray, ut supra, p. 31. The third line apparently means that ‘ every one
rates himself in his own opinion highly but this appears tp be irrelevant to the argument.

(14) The ‘ mountain * detected by Galileo in the moon is declared to be the shadow of the Library.
The new Tower and rising Schools will supply him with new mountains. Bodlcy^s town house was in
the quarter even then known as Little Britain.
(15) A scholarly poem, even when judged by our own standards. Bodley sent agents to Germany,
as Sir Robert Cotton and Laud did ; in the west he obtained treasures from Exeter, in his native county.
*A7r€;(€i9 /ucT^ov refers to Matth. vi. 2.
(16) In line 12 is Aleph the ‘ head ’, ‘ corner-stone ’ ? Tnu of course refers once more to the shape
of the Library. Walter de Merton was buried at Rochester (Roffa).
(17) There is still one extant drawing, often engraved, of the old Schools of Arts which were on the
point of being pulled down at the time of Bodley’s death.
(18) This is not the only poem which indulges in humour at the expense of Bodley’s first Librarian,
Dr. Thomas James, a malUus Catholicoruniy a severe and painful scholar.
[Nou, If Members of the Senior or Extra Staffs like to attempt English versions of some of the
above poems, and will send them to the Librarian by April i, he hopes to be able to print them, if they
attain a high standard of literary excellence.]
IL HUMPHREY WANLEY AND THE BODLEIAN IN 1697
Humphrey Wanley (1672-1726), the well-known librarian of Lord Harley from 1706 till
his death, was an assistant in the Bodleian from 1696 to 1700, at an annual salary of £12. At
the Visitation, November 8, 1697, the Curators appear to have invited suggestions from the
officials of the Library for improvements in the cataloguing and in the administration in
general. The paper (or rather a corrected draft of it) furnished by Wanley is contained in
British Museum MS. Lansdowne 814, fols. 86*’-94% and seems to have entirely escaped observa¬
tion until Thf Library^ in an article by Mr. G. F. Barwick, July 1902 (pp. 243-5), called
attention to it.
Nov. 10. 1697.
Forasmuch as upon Munday the S*** of this instant November the Curators
ordered each of us seperatly to bring unto them in writing on the 22** instant,
our several sentiments concerning the present state & condition of the Publick
Library, with what we might think the most likely way to redress what seems
amiss therein. In obedience to their Commands, as also out of the Duty I ow
the Publick weal of Learning, I here humbly offer what I thought most derserving
their Consideration. And because the whole Library chiefly consists of Books
either Printed or Written ; or of Coins & Medals, I will confine my self to these,
treating of them briefly in their Order.
Printed Books,
The greatest part of Bishop Barlows books & of those which the London
Stationers sent, are not as yet entred into the interleaved Catalogue of the
Library; and are thereby, of but very little use to the Student; which is
a grievance that ought to be amended in the first place.
The rarest & choicest Printed books lie every where amongst others, & therefdre

may as easily be taken away as the most trifling book in the Library. Whereas
if about 100 or 200 were laid up together, the Library-keeper must needs take
particular notice of that man, to whom he delivers any one of them, besides
other conveniencies hereafter enumerated.
It is proposed that all books consisting wholly of Prints, or containing only
some choise Prints of the best Masters, be laid up together: For in the Library,
many such have suffered extreamly, being either torn in pieces, or cut out of the
book, which being rare can scarcely be retrieved again.
That the Statute be considered. Whether the Strings of Printed Folios may
be cut off or not ? For Students neglecting to tie them, at the laying up of
a book, when that book is to be used again, ’tis ten* to one but it pluck’s down
& bruises one or two more.
That all printed books containing several different Tracts have the names
of those Tracts, with their respective numbers, written fairly, and pasted to the
beginning of the book. And that a little strip of Parchment be pasted to each
Tract, with its number written upon it; by which means one may easily find
the desired Tract, & quickly discover if any be wanting.
That Heretical & other books of dangerous subjects be laid up together,
& delivered only to men of a staid temper & gravity.
That for the future no book be bound up in Sheeps Leather, which breeds
Worms.
That no book be given to the Library, but it be immediatly entred into the
interleaved Catalogue, & laid up in it’s due place.
That the Library-keeper deliver no book in 4*® or 8’'® without telling the
Gentleman, that he desire the said book to be given back into his own hands
again. And that he every Evening before he goes home, take’s care that every
book given out that day be restored, & that he lock’s them up till they are done
withal. By this means no 4*® nor 8^ can be stole, but he must find it out.
The Catalogue of the Printed books being now sold off, and the Library
being increased by some thousands of others, it seems proper to think of an
Appendix to it; or rather, of one wholly new, by reason of those many faults
in it, which in a great measure stop’d it’s sale, as also because very many books
cannot now be found by the directions it gives. But a new Catalogue being
a vast undertaking, too much caution cannot be used. One way of taking such
a general Catalogue may be this. Suppose a dozen or more Learned men, who
are likewise supposed to know books better than others, meet so many times a week.

for a month or two, and consult together for the best method in placing the
books, as whether it be best to place all books of a bigness together promiscuously,
or all books of a Faculty, Science, &c. together, and that with respect to their
heighth; or not, placing the different editions of every author together, the
oldest, first. To consult whether books with gilt backs should stand with their
backs out or not; whether Authors should be placed in Alphabetical order as to
their names or not; whether a Donation should be placed by it self in the Library
or in the Benefaction book.
Whether particular notice ought to be taken of any different Readings, or
other Learned Notes written in the books, by knowing men.
Whether the Title & date of every book should not be expressed in the
Language of the book.
To consult about the Method of drawing up a Catalogue from the books
so placed. As whether it be not the best way to express the book, that a Scholar
may know what book is meant tho’ he does not see the book it self. Whether
when a book contains many different Tracts of several Authors, under one general
Title, Every author & Tract ought not to be expressed in the Catalogue. Whether
upon any General Head, or Author, the names of all those Authors or books
that any way illustrate the others ought not to be carefully put down. Whether
they ought not to say expresly such a book is a Folio, &c. Whether the names
of eminent Printers ought not to be remembered with the Place, & year &c.
Whether the Catalogue should follow the method of the Bibliotheca Thuana, or
Telleriana, &c. or be put in Alphabetical Order as it is now. When a book has
no Place or Date, whether it ought not to be put sine loco, sine anno, &c. Whether
the First & Best Editions ought not to [be] marked. Whether the most rare
books ought not to be distinguished, with a short note of the Price, &c.
When all are agreed & perfectly well versed in the Method designed for
placing the books, & drawing up the Catalogue; leave might be had from the
house of Convocation, for the Library to be shut up in the long Vacation, at
which time these said Learned Men should place the books first in the New
Order, & then, each knowing his own part of the Library, take an exact Catalogue
of those books that fall to his share, which Catalogue might fall pretty well into
Alphabetical Order, he having 3 times more Paper than he shall fill up, and that
Divided into Letters A. B. C, &c. This done, One amongst them should have

mistakes or omissions, & alter the directions of those books that were in the
Library before, and dashing those books, which having been once in the Library
are not to be found now. When this Catalogue has been diligently perused, it
may be Printed forthwith, and this perhaps may be a short & quick way to
accomplish so great a work ; such a Catalogue being the most acurate & well
as the Largest that ever was, must needs sell.
The Catalogue being made, the same men, or some of them, might make
Curating books for the Visitation.
Manuscripts
At Present, above 3000 MSS. are in no Curating book, & consequently were
never visited, nor are 1500 of these in any tolerable order. Take the whole
number altogether, & we have no good account of them either written or Printed,
nor are one quarter of them Paged, without which it is scarcely possible that
such an account should be had.
In the first place, then, they ought to be carefully paged, & that with a black
Lead Pencil, for fear of blotting with Ink. This done a more accurate Catalogue
ought to be taken of them, beginning with the Greek & then with the Latin
MSS., because of their frequent use, & so on to the rest. This account should
be very nice, in distinguishing authors, their genuine & supposititious works, &c..
giving the Title with 2 or 3 words of each tract, & shewing in what page it may
be found ; telling what Pictures, or Notes are in the book deserving to be made
publick, whether it be in paper or Parchment, & how old it is, how many leaves
it be in the whole, whether it were ever printed or not; if it be printed whether
it agreed or disagree with the printed Editions, and such like ; and this full
account, fairly written, should be placed at the beginning of the book, and these
accounts written into a book, would make the best catalogue of MSS.
The way of Scrawling the Title of the book upon the back of it, is but a very
scurvy one, many times there is not room for i of the Contents, & the birds
pick off that which is there, if it be not rubbed out when the book is used.
It would be well, if those printed books which lie dispersed among the MSS.,
(excepting those few which Arch-Bishop Laud gave) were taken away & put up
in other places, & that the like Regard were had to those printed books which
have written tracts at the beginning or end of them. [I suggest] That the MSS.,
in the Study be brought into the Library, & those over the Arts be laid up in
one of the new made Galleries.
It seems not improbable that S'" Tho. Bodley caused the 2 Archives A. & B..

Bodl. to be made, purposely to contain the greatest Rarities of the I<ibrary, which
might likewise be exposed to the view of Strangers, to the Credit & Honor of the
whole University. But so it is, that these two Archives are Crowded, with books
of all sorts, & of which 9 parts in 10 would do better in other places, as not being
near so rare as others which are more seldome seen. One way of furnishing
these Archives may be this. Suppose all the books. Rolls, &c. now in these
Archives were taken away, & disposed into shelves fit to receive them. The
Arch. A. Bodl. would make a more entertaining shew, if it had in it a book of
each language* in the Library, preferring the MSS. before the Printed books, if
we have any MSS. in that Language, as we have in above 40 Languages. The
others may be made out by the printed books; in every Language selecting that
book which is most conspicuous for the beauty of its Writing, Painting, &c.
After these, may be placed those other books which are still Remarkable above
others, for their fair writing or Painting, let them be in any Language whatever,
filling the Remaining part of the Archive with Rolls, books containing the Hand¬
writing of Princes, & other Curiosities.
The Archive B. Bodl. might be yet stored with a more precious furniture,
I mean with all the books written in Capital Letters, which are the oldest of all,
the most antient Copies of Fathers, Historians, Classicks, &c. Pieces of their
works which are still remaining, but not as yet Printed ; or which are more
correct than the Printed Editions, or those which have been the Fund to such
Editions, or are otherwise of extraordinary value. When the Archives are thus
filled, tw'O Lists of these books may be made; one describing the places from
whence each book was taken, the other shewing their present order. By the
former, against the Visitation, each book might be laid up in its proper place,
& by the latter brought back again after the Visitation is ended. Some of the
Conveniencies of this way may be these. First no Stranger shall come to the
Library, but we shal be enabled forthwith to shew him a book in his own
Language ; & if he be a Scholar, the sight of Arch. B. will amaze him ; and he
must needs from such a shew, conclude the Bodlejan Library to be the Noblest
in the world; Which tho’ it be not true, yet People will guess according to
what they see, and if others who have more & choiser Rarities, will not shew them
to Strangers & Travellors, we shall certainly get all the Credit.* As for Countrey
Gentlemen & Ladies, the sight of so many fair books will give them all the
Content imaginable. Another thing worth consideration may be; that as it

makes for the Honor of the University (and indeed of the whole Nation) to see
so many Rare Manuscripts, & choise Printed books, all together in one Library;
so in case of any unexpected Revolution, or of Fire breaking out in the Library,
(which God forbid) this whole Treasure may be secured at a quarter of an hours
warning.
Coins & Medals.
The University hath at present in the Galleries of the Library, a numerous
Collection of Coins & Medals, Antient & Modern, of all Sizes, Metals, Ages,
& of most Countries. Of these, a great part were given by Arch-Bishop Laud,
by him disposed into 5 Boxes, in such a Method as he at that time thought most
convenient. He afterwards sent the University a Catalogue of them, which is
at this present in the Library. Afterwards M*" Elias Ashmole, considering that
the University had many more Roman Coins than those given by Bishop Laud,
he took the pains to make a Catalogue of them, which Catalogue (containing the
Roman Coins only) he wrote fairly in 3 volumes in fol. & presented to the Library.
And this with the other afore-mentioned, is very faulty; and besides these 2
I never saw any other Catalogue of the Coins.
At Present the Study of Antiquities, Inscriptions, Manuscripts, & Medals
seems to be generally in vogue beyond the Seas, where it has the reputation of
being called Polite Learning, &c.. And Cabinets of these Curiosities are as care¬
fully Ordered & Collected, & with as much expence as large Studies of Printed
Books; In Compliance with the Age, as also for the more exact knowledge of
what Rarities the University has already of this sort, & what she wants; It would
be well if all the Coins & Medals of the University were laid in their just Order,
the Antient Coins in one Cabinet, & the Modern in another.
First Cabinet.
The Antient Gold.
The Medalions in Silver & Brass.
The Greek Kings.
The Greek Commonwealths, and Colonies.
The Roman Families.
The Roman Emperors & Augusta to Heraclius, in Silver,
in Great Brass
in Little Brass.
The Greek Emperors from Heraclius to Constantinus Palaealogus.

Second Cabinet.
This may be disposed according to Order of Place, & the other of Time.
Gold Medals, having never been currant Money.
Currant Money in Gold according to their several Nations.
’Medals of Silver.
Medals of Brass, &c.
Silver Money.
Brass Money. All these, to be disposed regularly, those of a Countrey or
Nation together, & that in order of time.
These Cabinets should have each, 2 Convex Glasses, & a pair of Scales, the
better to read blind Inscriptions, & know the true weight of every valuable Coin.
And these being so disposed, a perfect Catalogue should be made of them,
following the Method the Coins are placed in, & being Copied out fairly, one
Copie might go from Vice-Chancellor to Vice-Chancellor, who with the other
Curators, upon some Somers day, might call them all over, weighing all the gold
& the largest Silver Pieces.
M*" Vice-Chancellor & the other Curators are humbly entreated to consider
whether it would not be better to have all the Coins of the University in one
Collection, than to be divided in several Places. And seeing that there is a good
number at the Musaeum Ashmoleanum, it were not worth while to carry them
to the Library, allowing the said Musaeum in Consideration, K*' H. 8‘ Sword,
Guy Fawxe’s Lanthorn, the Chair made from Cap‘ Drakes Ship, My Lady
Pawlets Nedle-work, &c. which do not make so good a figure in a Publick Library,
as they would do in the said Musaeum.
These are the chief matters which I have to offer, as to the present State of
this Library, as well in Respect of Decency, as of absolute Necessity. And if by
reason of the Narrowness of my Education (which was forreign to things of this
Nature) and the small Experience I have of the World, I have erred in any
material point; I with all humility crave the pardon of my Masters the Curators;
who since they were pleased to lay their Commands on me, to bring them my
thoughts on this Subject in writing, I thought it my duty to obey them tho’
I run the hazard of proving my self utterly unskilful in the matter in hand :
Fearing that my Silence (when commanded to speak) would be construed Obstinacy
& Contempt.

NOTES AND NEWS
The Annual Report on the Library (Supplement i to No. 1,456 of the Oxford
University Gazette of March lo, price supplies the usual statistics
of the increase of the Library, and full Accounts in the new and
more rational form, as well as general notes and a list of the chief
epor . donations and purchases. The total of accessions in 1913 (97,795)
had been swollen by 19,000 Chinese pen, the Backhouse Collection, so that the
drop to 74,348 in war time is not more than might be expected. The fall in
purchases of new books is due to the collapse of German and (to a less extent)
French literature, but the deplorable reduction in the number of second-hand
books from 810 to 466 is clear evidence of the need of money. In one sense,
however, it may be regarded as a blessing in disguise, for the labour of dealing
with the British Museum duplicates and the Bywater books will tax the powers
of the Staff for some time to come. The ‘ Financial Note ’ is again contributed
by a Curator, and may be taken as an able and independent estimate of the
position. The reduction of the debit-balance from ^^1,831 to with a pro¬
spect of its entire disappearance in the course of this year, is a matter for sincere
congratulation, even though on investigation it appears that the feat is largely
due to exceptional circumstances.

that are daily printed Even if ‘ some little profit might be reaped (which
God knows is very little), out of some of our play-books, the benefit thereof
will nothing near countervail the harm that the scandal will bring upon the
Library, when it shall be given out that we stuffed it full of baggage books
Now that this unfortunate error of Bodley has been once more brought forward,
a word or two on it will not be out of place.
The depreciation of minor literature is perhaps the only instance of a failure
of right judgement on the part of Bodley, and it is a failure due
’ to the necessary limitations of the seventeenth century. Biblio-
^ ’ ’ graphy was practically unknown, and its principles unrecognized.
When the Third Folio of Shakespeare came out in 1664, with seven additional
Plays, the First Folio was sold out of the Library as a superseded thing, a ‘ double ’
or duplicate. Sir Thomas Bodley was first of all a statesman and diplomat, and
secondly a scholar, but in neither capacity could he foresee the importance to
a later age of the minor curiosities of his own time, the ballad, the folk-song,
or the comedy play. Perhaps no one in the period before the Civil War, with
the exception of Robert Burton, that ‘ snapper-up of unconsidered trifles ’,
collected ‘ comoediarum, tragediarum, et schediasmatum ludicrorum (praesertim
idiomate vernaculo) aliquot centurias ’, as the Album Benefactorum terms
part of Burton’s bequest. Fortunately, the Bodleian of 1640 was wise enough
even then to accept these treasures, to the great advantage of posterity.
But to the end of time the anonymous critic will pick out Bodley’s almost unavoid¬
able error of judgement, and hurl it at us as a brand-new, irresistible, and irre¬
futable weapon, without even noticing that Dr. James, Bodley’s own Librarian,
had evidently disagreed with his patron on the point.
In view of an opinion which has been expressed, with more wit than wisdom,
Ostraca ostraca ought to be buried in the Quadrangle rather than
preserved and valued, it may be worth while to give the follow¬
ing testimony from a letter on the subject signed by two leading representatives
of Egyptian literature resident in Oxford. ‘ There can really be no doubt about
the value of Sayce’s Ostraca. From the purely commercial point of view they
are now much scarcer and more difficult to obtain than they used to be. To
get together a large and representative collection such as this would cost much
time and money, if it could be done at all. But apart from this, ostraca have

a definite scientific importance. No doubt, being largely tax-receipts, they tend
to follow particular types, and a certain amount of repetition must be expected ;
nevertheless, for the study of Graeco-Roman Egypt they form an invaluable supple¬
ment to the papyri.’ Some account of their acquisition will be found on p. 81.
The Bodleian contains four definite collections of State Papers, as described
_ on p. 3, besides being the depository of many Diocesan Papers and
Records Records of all kinds, so that it is not to be wondered at that
the Commissioners on Public Records should inspect the Bodleian
and its methods. They seem to indulge in surprise visits—a mild type of humour
—and both there and at the City Library disported themselves without the
embarrassing presence of the chief officer. They are stated to have formed
a favourable opinion of the condition of the records in both libraries. The visit
was on January 7 last, and the itinerant Commissioners were Sir Vincent Edwards,
Professor C. H. Firth, Mr. Hubert Hall, Sir Frederick Pollock, and Mr. H. R.
Tedder. They were accompanied by the Rev. H. E. Salter, the most distinguished
of living Oxford antiquaries.
The following names, which are additional to the lists on pp. 59,

(The two notes which follow have been kindly contributed by Mr. Charles Hughes,
of Manchester. He has undoubtedly discovered a peculiar feature
of the Bodleian Catalogue issued in 1620.) The issue of the
second Catalogue of the Bodleian Library in 1620 marked the close
of the rule of Thomas James. James had been Bodley’s first
librarian, and had issued the first Catalogue in 1605. We may
therefore assume that till 1620 the principles of Bodley and James were strictly
carried out. An examination of the 1620 Catalogue has convinced me that
one of those principles was that no English translation of a Latin or Greek book
should appear upon the shelves of the Bodleian Library. The Bodleian Library

was strictly for scholars, and nobody was considered as worthy to read there who
required an English translation.
After a long search I have not found a single exception. Sir Henry Savile
was one of the chief friends of Bodley and earliest donors, yet his translation
of Tacitus’ History does not find a place. None of the translations of Philemon
Holland, namely Livy, Pliny’s Natural History^ Plutarch’s Moralsy Suetonius,
and Ammianus Marcellinus, which were published from 1600 to 1610, appear in the
Catalogue. James admitted Camden’s Britannia in the Latin editions of 1600 and
1607, but he excluded the enormously improved and enlarged English version of
1610 containing maps of every county in England. Nor did the Catalogue of
1620 contain any edition of North’s Plutarchy Golding’s Ovid, or Lodge’s Seneca.
It would seem that English translations from French and Italian works were
also excluded, the only exception that I have found being the works of du Bartas,
translated by Joshua Sylvester, 1605. A striking instance is that Florio’s transla¬
tion of Montaigne does not appear, though his Italian-English Dictionary finds
a rightful place. C. H.
The successor to Thomas James as Librarian in 1620 was John Rouse, who pub¬
lished in 1635 an Appendix to the 1620 Catalogue, containing the
James books acquired since the retirement of James. It is significant
Rouse apparent rule of excluding English translations is
no longer enforced. The Appendix contains English translations

Saviliana, and also an English translation of the Annals, probably Greenway’s.
I think the omissions which have been noted before 1620 and the inclusions from
1620 to 1635 may be taken as a proof that the old order was changing. C. H.
Among the printed books which came to the Library in 1755 by Dr. Richard
Rawlinson’s bequest was a copy of Robert Knox’s Historical Relation
of the Island Ceylon (London, 1681). The writer was in captivity
in Ceylon from 1659 to 1679, and his book, which is extremely
readable, was the first account of Ceylon published in the English language.

A duplicate was in the Library when Rawlinson’s copy came in, and the latter
remained unreferenced until about i860. In a transfer of books effected in
1912 it was noticed that the second copy contained Rawlinson’s bookplate and
had MS. matter bound up with it, and it was consequently moved into the
Rawlinson Collection. Further examination has shown it to be Knox’s own copy,
and to contain a MS. autobiography in his autograph, written by him in 1696,
and continued to 1711, as well as an account, supplementary to the published
work, of ‘ how I lived and passed the time of my captivity whilest on Zelon ’.
The continued existence of the author’s copy has not been previously noticed,
although a passage in his will is quoted in the Diet. Nat. Biog.^ wherein he
bequeathed to his nephew, Knox Ward, ‘ my booke of Ceylone with manuscripts
of my owne life ’. Its identity is proved beyond doubt by Rawlinson’s entry
in his copy, ‘ Liber olim Knox Ward armig., Clarenciux Armorum Rex ’.

In the centenary year of Waterloo it may be of interest to point out that the
Bodleian possesses Byron’s autograph ‘Ode from the French’ on
Byron Waterloo, beginning, ‘ We do not curse thee, Waterloo ’ (Byron’s
Waterloo Poetry, ed. by E. H. Coleridge, vol. iii (1900), p. 431). It
has hitherto been reprinted from the magazine to which Byron
sent it, but the original MS. has many corrections and substitutions illustrating
the evolution of the poem. The variants in the final form are, however, not
important enough to make it desirable to reprint the whole Ode. It may be
assumed that the original French does not exist, and that Byron himself is
endeavouring to depict Waterloo from the point of view of the vanquished,
and to emphasize features of the conflict which to some extent turn the defeat
into a victory !
Among Professor Bywater’s books is the Commentarius de anima of Melanchthon,
1540, with the autograph of the great Tourangeau, and beneath
Autograph Greek, kcCi ruv aJurrao (ptAuv, equivalent to the device et
Rabelais amicorum, met with on the books of his contemporaries Maioli
and Grolier. A note, ‘ Madrid, September 1900, 5 pes.’, gives
place, date, and price, and it is left for us to imagine the feelings of so keen
a collector as Professor Bywater on pocketing such a treasure for a few pence !
About a dozen books of Rabelais* library are known. The University of Sheffield

possesses the Aldine Galen with his signature. These two books in English
libraries recall the intimate relation which Rabelais had with the medical pro¬
fession. From the story of his Montpellier life, extracted by Gordon from the
archives of the University, we find that in 1531, after taking the M.B. degree
he lectured frequenti auditorio on the Aphorisms of Hippocrates and the Ars
Parva of Galen. In 1532 he issued at Lyons an edition of the former, with
corrections made in the Greek text. In 1537, after taking the Doctor’s degree,
we learn from the register that he lectured on the Prognostics of Hippocrates
‘ quern Graece interpretatus est ’. Rabelais’ close touch with current literature
is illustrated in the Catalogue of the Library of St. Victor^ one of the most famous
of imaginary libraries, the covert allusions in which, chiefly to contemporary
authors, have been so skilfully worked out by the Bibliophile Jacob. Melanch-
thon’s book would appeal to Rabelais as a scholarly exposition of the known
facts in anatomy and physiology. Indeed in few books do we get so good a pre¬
sentation of the current knowledge of the period on these subjects. Details
of the known autographs of Rabelais are to be found in the volumes of the Revue
des Etudes Rabelaisiennesy by Abel Lefranc and others, and the present volume
is described by Seymour de Ricci in tom. v, p. 448.

of more than ordinary interest. The boards are of "wood covered
with pig-skin, and decorated with borders of roll-produced ornaments. The
outer border on each side has a strawberry-leaf design, the second a renaissance
design with large medallion heads of Caesar, Virgil, Ovid, and Cicero, and the
innermost a similar design with small heads of Erasmus, Hus, Luther, and
Melanchthon. The medallion head of Ovid bears the date 1544, which is the
year in which the tool was made. On the front cover, running round a small
central panel, is the inscription, iacobvs sever rip anno ivbileo 1550. The

back cover bears the initials ‘ T. S.’, which are probably those of the first owner.
On the title-page is written the following ;
‘ Possessor est mens lacobus Cimbricus
Quern ciuitas Ripis progenuit Danica.’
‘ Vitebergae hie liber ligatus anno 1550 die 10 Augusti 2 Talrois et 2 gr. emptus.*
Jacobus Cimbricus is evidently the same as Jacobus Sever. ‘ Ripis ’ is a town
in Denmark, now called Ribe. It appears that the book was on sale at Wittenberg
in 1550, and that Jacobus Sever had his name and the inscription impressed
on the binding : some original ornaments may have been erased from the front
cover. The binding is in good condition, but about the end of the eighteenth
century the edges were strengthened by the addition of strips of dark green
morocco tooled in gold. S. G,

Notes.
From three Fellows of Colleges the Bodleian is receiving most welcome help.
One has presented for general purposes, as he has no expenses
at the front, and desires to help his University. Two more are
giving help ‘ in kind ’, that is to say, are giving some of their time
to pieces of work which do not require previous experience, such as indexing
Illuminations, describing engravings, and the like. Oxir best thanks are due to
the Three.—Sir Hubert von Herkomer left a portrait of our Chancellor, Lord
Curzon of Kedleston, unfinished at his death. It has been completed, and pre¬
sented by Lady Herkomer to the University : and for the next few months is
on view in the Bodleian Picture Gallery.—One glass case in the Picture Gallery
has been assigned to specimens of Books for the Blind, and contains both printed
books on the subject and examples of various kinds of embossed print, chiefly
Braille.—Special attention has lately been paid to problems of extinguishing
a possible fire : on one occasion (February 10) an interesting attempt was made
to ascertain how many books could be moved in a quarter of an hour.—The
repair of the exterior stone work of the Camera has been completely finished.
The stone may now vie in durability with the wonderfully solid old English oak
of the inner framework of the great Dome.—By the death of Professor Bullock
the Library has lost a friend who devoted much time and labour to describing
and indexing the Chinese collection, and was always ready to give help and advice.
—Mrs. Doble has presented a collection of about 150 autographs, formed by
the late Mr. C. E. Doble, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford.

I. INDEX TO DUKE HUMPHREY’S GIFTS TO THE OLD LIBRARY
OF THE UNIVERSITY IN 1439, 1441, AND 1444.
The three lists of boob presented to Oxford University Library by Humphrey Plantagenet,
Duke of Gloucester, in 1439, 144I9 and again in 1444, have been printed from the Letter*
Book in the University Archives, namely in the Rev. H. Anstey’s Munimenta Acadftnica^ p. 758,
edited for the Master of the Rolls, and in the same editor^s Epistolae Academicae Oxon.^
pp. 179, 204, 232, for the Oxford Historical Society. They are here given in alphabetical
order. The entries have been collated by Mr. S. Gibson with the original lists in Oxford
University Register F, foil. 52*^, 60*^, 67*^, and reduced to a uniform system by the alteration of
case-endings and authors’ names, but any addition to the text is indicated by square brackets.
Notes have also been added in the case of volumes which are either (i) in John Leland’s list of
books in the University Library {Collectanea iii, p. 58), or (2) recorded by John Bale in his
Index Britanniae Scriptorum^ as found by him in that Library, or (3) still known to exist.
The fact that the first word or words on the second leaf (here printed in italics) is known
will enable more and more of these books to be traced, H. H. E. C.

In answer to the invitation on p. 106, Mr. Milford, a member of the Extra Staff, has sent
us the following versions of five of the poems printed in No. 4, at pp. 96-105, and we gladly
print them. The marginal numbers will make reference to the original Latin easy.

And moth and wood-worm barbarous sway maintained ;
Where far aloft their webs the spiders threw,

New fretted light on Bodley’s noble halls :
The well-bound volumes shine in goodly rows ;
Each Muse her own appointed alcove know^s,
And is herself again, through Bodley’s care.
While what belonged to one, now all may share.

IV. BODLEY’S LIBRARY IN 1697 (see p. 106, above)
In three of the Latin poems in honour of Sir Thomas Bodley, reprinted
in the last number of the Record, reference is made to the fact that the shape
of the Library in 1613 resembled the letter T. When the North End was built
in 1640, visitors began to remark that the Library was formed like the letter
H laid on its side, the cross stroke being Duke Humphrey’s Library, and the
Arts and Selden Ends the parallel ones. In 1697 this was the whole extent of
the Library, which then had an air of greater spaciousness than it has now. No
cases, desks, or furniture encumbered the floor. As may be seen in Loggan’s
print, scholars, ladies, and gallants had ample room for perambulation. The
disposition of the books at the Arts End was very similar to what it is to-day,
the folio Art books below, and the smaller sizes of Art, Theology, and Medicine
in the galleries above. Two small wooden staircases gave access to the galleries.

and so gracefully constructed were they that visitors took special note of them.
Monconys, who visited the Library in 1663, speaks of them as ‘ escaliers de menui-
serie fort delicate Sorbiere, writing at a slightly earlier date, says that they
were ‘ very artfully contrived for to give light in the middle and Conrad von
Uffenbach, who made a tour in England in 1710, thought them worthy of being
illustrated in his book of Travels.
Near the staircases, one on either side of the room, were two large globes,
the gift of the Founder, and, just beyond, the two Archives which Wanley says
were ‘ crowded with books of all sorts, and of which 9 parts in 10 would do better
in other places ’. These Archives, or ‘ grated-places ’ as they are called in Bodley’s
letters, were intended for the reception of the greater rarities—to be shown
but seldom and then only to as few persons as possible.
Monconys describes Duke Humphrey’s Library as having its cases arranged
like the beds in a hospital, ‘ elles sont d’une vieille menuiserie, et ont un banc
de mSme etoffe et de m^me fa^on entre les deux Above the cases, and along
the walls where the Founders’ Portraits now hang, ran two galleries, erected
in 1694, which contained the Dodsworth, Huntington, Hatton, Greaves, Pocock,
Marshall, and Barlow collections. The West or Selden End contained the Library
of John Selden, and the Barocci, Digby, Roe, Cromwell, and Laudian collections
in the galleries.
The folio books were secured to the shelves by chains. All the books were
arranged with their edges outwards, and their bindings were provided with
two pairs of strings. Readers were required by the Statutes to replace their
books when finished with, to disentangle the chains, and to tie the strings again
neatly in a bow. String-tying was by no means popular with readers, to judge
from such entries in the Library Accounts as, ‘ Item to certaine poore Schollars
for helping the Porter to tie the books against the Visitation of the Librarie i" ’.
The Picture Gallery, which had been built by Sir Thomas Bodley as pro¬
vision for the future growth of the Library, contained no books in 1697 but
was adorned with a series of about two hundred portraits of famous men painted
on the walls. Here were kept the coins, and perhaps those two famous Bodleian
curiosities, the Tartar Lambskin Cloak, otherwise known as Joseph’s Coat, and
the Fossilized Lizard. The original roof of the Picture Gallery resembled that
of the Arts End : it was dismantled in 1831, and the few panels which were
preserved are now placed in the ceiling of the Upper Reading Room.
Forming a kind of annex to the Bodleian was the Anatomy School or Bodleian
Repository. Here were preserved the chief curiosities, as for example the whale

and crocodiles, the sea-elephant, the mummied negro boy, and Queen Elizabeth’s
shoe. The Janitor had control over this section of the Library, and was allowed
to charge visitors a fee.
The office of Bodley’s Librarian was held by Thomas Hyde, an Orientalist
of undoubted distinction, but of small account as regards Librarianship. He
seems to have been but little conversant with the books under his care, and
Wanley had no great opinion of him. There is an amusing passage between
them in connexion with the purchase of some books in 1697. Wanley had been
instructed to buy at auction certain works selected by Hyde. The first book
in the list was Kidder in Actu Apostolorum, against which Hyde wrote, ‘It is
a book never heard of, and we want it ’. Wanley rejoined, ‘ If you never heard
of it, I can’t help it. He tell you. Sir, what they say of it, who know books better
than you and I do ’. He then explains that the book is only an Appendix to an
edition of Episcopius, and therefore imperfect in itself, and continues, ‘ If the
catalogue from the preface calls it Kidder In Actu^ &c., and setts a false date
of 1600 to it, ’tis none of my fault. But we want it; if so, ’tis ready, I have bought
it at the auction for 3/. 6 d. (as much more as it is worth) ’. Hyde was the editor
of the third Bodleian Catalogue of Printed Books, published in 1674. In the
Dedication and Introduction he enlarges upon the difficulties attending the
compilation of a catalogue, and on the hardships he suffered. Whether Hyde
actually compiled the Catalogue is doubtful. Hearne claims the Catalogue for
Emmanuel Prichard, the Janitor, but behind both Hyde and Prichard is a phan¬
tasmal army of fifty Masters of Arts. Hyde, on his retirement, complained
bitterly of the drudgery of his duties: how far he fell short of competence is
shown by Wanley’s recommendation that Barlow’s books should be entered
in the Catalogue. At the time when Wanley was writing, the books of Bishop
Barlow had been in the Library four years.
The Under-Librarian was Joseph Crabb, M.A., of Exeter College. He was
a bibulous soul, and hungered for fees rather than books, but let it be recorded
that he was on duty from morning till night, and, like every good Librarian,
was ‘ poking about the whole time ’. His fee for showing round a stranger (a party
was accepted on the same terms) was five shillings. To see books on the shelves
a larger fee was expected : Uffenbach was charged one guinea. These tips were
mostly spent in neighbouring taverns, where Mr. Crabb’s throat constantly
obtained relief from the fine dust which rose ‘ velut umbra aut nebula ’ from the
books when they were moved. That same fine dust still rises and falls, and throats
parch, but the quest of the catholicon has been forbidden these many years.

The remaining officer of the Library was Emmanuel Prichard, the Janitor,
on whom, according to the ingenuous, and often mendacious, Mr. Thomas Hearne,
had fallen the task of compiling the Catalogue of 1674.
The only other person employed in the Library was Humfrey Wanley, who,
beginning life as a draper, had pursued study to such good purpose that he had
come to be recognized as a leading authority on ancient manuscripts. The work
for which he is chiefly remembered in Bodley is his Index to Bernard’s Catalogi
Manus crip torum Angliae et Hiberniae, published in 1698. It is remarkable that
Wanley in his recommendations to the Curators makes no reference to this
Catalogue (which contained all the Bodleian manuscripts), although it must have
been almost completely printed off when he was writing. The style of cataloguing
employed is of course far below Wanley’s standard, which was only attained
one hundred and fifty years later with the publication of the Quarto series of
Bodleian Catalogues.
The income of the Library during the academical year 1696-7 was £$^o i8j. Sd.,
and the expenditure i8r. iid. The combined yearly salaries of the three
officers amounted to j^5i 6 s. Sd. Humfrey Wanley, for his special case, received
£22. The next largest separate sum in the Accounts is £ij 8j. ^d., the cost
of the Curators’ Visitatorial Dinner. The Visitation was (and is) held on
November 8, when a diligent inquiry was made touching the state and condition
of the Library, the doors being closed and the Librarian shut out. At the Dinner,
which was regularly given until the beginning of the nineteenth century, gloves
ranging in price from five to twenty shillings a pair were presented to the
Curators and the bedel, and fees to the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors. Other
items in the Accounts are j^i8 i 6 s. iid. for House Expenses, eight guineas
for Binding, nine shillings for Stationery, and last and least, six shillings for
Books.
The number of readers frequenting the Library cannot now be estimated,
but only nine ‘ extranei ’ were admitted during 1697. The form of admission
under the old Statute had greater solemnity than it has to-day. The Declara¬
tion, as we now call it, was then an actual oath beginning * Tu promittes, sancte-
que coram Deo Optimo Maximo recipies ’, and ending, ‘ Ita te Deus adjuvet,
tactis Sacrosanctis Christi Evangeliis ’. For the purpose of swearing in readers
Crabb kept a small Greek Testament in a bag, and not only did he insist that
the Gospels should be touched, but that they should be reverently kissed. The
number of printed books contained in the Library was nearly 30,000, and of
manuscripts nearly 6,000.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
Such was the position of the Bodleian Library when Wanley presented his
Recommendations to the Curators. A good many of them were counsels of
perfection, considering that the Staff of the Library consisted of but three persons.
It would have been helpful no doubt to have had a list of the separate items
in each bound volume of pamphlets, but in 1697 there must have been many
hundreds of such volumes on the shelves. The affixing of parchment tags to
every tract would probably have led ultimately to irreparable damage, especially
if the tags had been attached to the title-pages.
The recommendation that sheepskin should in future not be used for bind¬
ings was sound. The leather usually employed was calf : if sheepskin, which
is the least durable of leathers, was used to any extent it must have been a fairly
recent innovation. The binding of books in parchment had been forbidden by
the Statute of 1613.
Wanley touched on a very difficult question when he offered suggestions
respecting the custody of the coins and medals belonging to the University.
Whatever may have been the opinion in Wanley’s time, it has long been recog¬
nized that the Ashmolean Museum has a stronger claim than the Bodleian to
be the depository of the University’s Coin Collection. A few years ago it was
thought that the Ashmolean wished ‘ to capture ’ the Bodleian coins; now,
when the Bodleian authorities would welcome their transfer, the Museum finds
itself, at least for the present, unable to receive them.
Some of the miscellaneous antiquities mentioned by Wanley have been already
transferred to the Ashmolean, but it was not until 1887 that the Library could
bring itself to part with Guy Fawkes’s Lantern. Drake’s Chair still remains.
Since Wanley’s time, many other curious objects have found a home in the
Picture Gallery, as for example the heavy wooden model of the Temple of
Neptune at Paestum, copied by ‘ Mr. Wyatt, Jun., an ingenious artist of this
City, from a cork model brought from Naples ’, in which honest carpentry is
more apparent than ingenious art. This and similar miscarriages would
doubtless have been considered by Wanley as not making ‘ so good a figure in
a Publick Library, as they would do in the said Musaeum ’. Is the ‘ said
Musaeum ’ of the same opinion ?

NOTES AND NEWS
Our readers will be glad to hear that the Bywater Memorial Fund has already
reached a sum which ensures that a large and fine bookcase will be
constructed to contain Mr. Bywater’s bequest of about 4,000 choice
volumes on ‘ Aristotle and his philosophy which has been described
at pp. 79-80 above. The room itself will bear his honoured name, and it is probable
that on some day in the Michaelmas term Members of Congregation will be
invited to see the books, the bookcase, and the room. There is also a prospect of
the publication of a second edition of Mr. Bywater’s privately printed Elenchus
Libroruniy a short but clear description of the books bequeathed.
All reasonable precautions have been taken against the dangers of an aerial raid.
Among those which may fairly be made public are, that the most
valuable manuscripts and printed books have been removed, the
fire plugs and hose tested and exercised—during which the royal
face of King James I on the Tower of the Five Orders was well washed—new
fire-extinguishers have been purchased, and both sand and water have been
stored. A voluntary fire brigade has been organized among the Staff and the
Proctors’ servants. For much of this activity and (it may be hoped) efficiency
thanks are especially due to Mr. P. S. Allen and to the present Senior Proctor,
both Curators.
Charters and deeds are accounted dull things by many persons. But the new
volume of the Oxford Historical Society’s Publications, containing
® edition of the Chartulary of St. John’s Hospital
tn Oxford —which was made possible by the munificence of Magdalen College—
is of real interest to all Oxford citizens, as being perhaps the earliest
attempt to link up old charters relating to Oxford with post-Reformation leases

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
up to the nineteenth century. As traced by Mr. Salter’s learned and lucid
notes, the tenements of the lower part of the High Street can be identified in
several cases with certainty for more than six centuries. Especially valuable to
us are the records of St. George’s Hall, now 35 and 36 High Street, between
Queen’s and All Souls, Mr. Peattie’s shop, for we learn from certain rentals that,
whereas in 1478 John Dowcheman held the house, in 1480 ‘ Dyrylce Dowcheman ’
was tenant, and in 1482 ‘ Dyryk Rode ’. Here then was the dwelling-place,
and no doubt the printing-room, of Theodoricus Rood (not of Cologne), the first
Oxford printer whose name we know, who exercised his art from 1481 to 1485.
And who can say that ‘ John the Dutchman ’ is not the actual first unnamed
printer whose books are dated from ‘ 1468 ’ (1478 ?) to 1480 ?
‘ 1468.’
While on the subject of early Oxford Printing, it is worth while to refer to
a new point about the Oxford ’Jerome of ‘ 1468 ’, the date of which
is almost universally supposed to be an error for 1478, due to the
falling out of an x in the colophon. In 1895 it had to be confessed that ‘ all the
chief bibliographers are against it [the date 1468], while no fresh defending forces
are in sight ’. This year, however, a new defending force has unexpectedly
appeared, due to the extended study of water-marks in paper. Dr. Aitken, who
is compiling lists of the early books in Oxford College libraries, has found time
to look closely at the five water-marks found in the Jerome, and to note what is
stated of them in Briquet and Likacev. It is truly remarkable that, according to
him, every one of the five water-marks are found elsewhere in or earlier than 1468.
«
On the hypothesis that the printing is of 1478 it is certainly surprising to find
that all the paper was possibly at least ten years old.
The war put an end for a time to the hope of a successful appeal on behalf of
_ the Bodleian, and, as the late Senior Proctor, Mr. lenkinson, has
tconomies. , . • 1 1
forcibly pointed out, some drastic economies have been a necessary
duty. For the present they have been confined to such changes as do not alter
the general character of the Bodleian as a Library of Deposit. The chief alterations
arc that few Periodicals, Proceedings, and Transactions now have their separate
parts catalogued ; that certain well-defined classes of books (such as juvenile
fiction, elementary school books, scries of uncritical reprints and the like) are not

carried beyond the stage of hand-listing, and never reach the Catalogue; and
that many minor periodicals and pamphlets are no longer bound in volumes,
but are either cased, boxed, or, in accordance with a new British Museum con¬
trivance, self-bound, without leaving the library. These preliminary economies
ought soon to have a considerable effect on the expenditure.
The scheme for the continuation of the Grande Album Benefactorum, referred
to at p. 36 above, is now in working order. • The benefactions are
P ^ divided into classes for honorific treatment according to their relative
torum value. In the first class (from 1790, when the present record ends)
are the following names:—Richard Gough, Lord Sunderlin (the
Malone collection), Francis Douce, Mrs. Sutherland, Dr. Robert Mason (the

Many of the older manuscripts in the Hatton collection bear traces of previous
ownership by Worcester Cathedral Library. Amongst them must be
St. Dun- reckoned MS. Hatton 30, a tenth-century manuscript of St. Augus-
Glaston Exposition of the Apocalypse, for an obliterated fifteenth-
century inscription on the last leaf, on being revived, has been found
to read ‘... cath’ (?) be Marie Wygorn’ ’, and the old boards in which
the volume is bound show the offset of two fragments of a Sacramentary of about
A.D. 1000, of which a third fragment is still extant in MS. Hatton 93, also a Worcester
book. The interest of the volume lies in the inscription in capitals, immediately
succeeding the colophon, ‘ DVNSTAN- ABBAS hVNC LiBCLLvM SCRiBERE IVSSiT*’
Since no other Dunstan than the saint is known to have held the office of abbot.
Dr. Macray and Bishop Stubbs have properly assumed that the reference is to
St. Dunstan, who became Abbot of Glastonbury in 949. The manuscript was
therefore probably written at Glastonbury, but, since it does not occur in a cata¬
logue of Glastonbury Library drawn up in 1248, it must have then already left
that place; and since the book has now been found to have passed to Worcester,
it seems probable that Dunstan himself carried it thither upon his appointment
to that see in 957. H. H, E. C.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
An entry in a copy of Bishop Lesley’s Defence of the Honour of.. . Marie Quene of
Scotland (London, 1569), offered for sale by Mr. W. Brown of Edin-
. burgh in December 1913, supplies a real example of the proverbial
^old’ * expression, ‘ worth its weight in gold The Hon. Archibald Camp¬
bell wrote in it, ‘ I refused the weight of this book in Gold from
James, Duke of Hamilton, 1709. Afterwards he offered me 10 guinys for it, but
I would not take it. The Duke was so curious about this Book that, hearing there
was a copy of it in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, His Grace went thither (being
then E[arl] of Arran) and staid till Mr. Humfrey Wanley transcribed the first part
of it, being the defence of Q. Mary’s honour.’ The copy must, however, have
been made from a copy of the edition of 1571, for the Bodleian has never
possessed the earlier issue, which is extremely rare.
A unique
English
fifteenth
century
broadside.
It is remarkable that shortly after the acquisition of the Caxton Indulgence
recorded on p. 61 of the B. Q. R. another hitherto unknown fifteenth
century Indulgence should have been brought to light. The present
example had lain unnoticed in a scrap-book which came to the
Library in 1834 imder the bequest of Francis Douce. It is one of
a series of Indulgences issued by Robertus Castellensis, prothonotary
of the Apostolic See, and printed by Pynson in 1499. This 1499 series
includes two forms of licences to clergy to grant Indulgences, and four or five
distinct issues of the Indulgence itself. The Bodleian already possessed one of
the issues of the licence to clergy, so it now has two unique examples of a very
rare type of document, both printed on vellum. (See ‘ English Fifteenth Century
Broadsides ’, by E. Gordon Duff. Printed in the Transactions of the Bibliographical
Society, ix, p. 211.) S. G.
On July 26 in this year the Rev. William Dunn Macray, D.Litt., F.S.A., the
historian of the Bodleian, completed the seventy-fifth year of his con-
Rev Dr with the Library. On July 27, 1840, Dr. Macray joined
Macray under-assistant, and so has had a share in nearly
one quarter of the whole existence of the institution. The only
other instances of a connexion of more than fifty years appear to be John Price
(Librarian, d. 1813, after more than 56 years of work). Dr. B. Bandinel (Librarian,
d. 1861, after 51 years’ service), and two present members of the staff (Mr. W. H.
Timberlake, with 58 years, and Mr. H. J. Shuffrey, with 52 years). The hearty

good wishes of all his friends will be with Dr. Macray, who lives in retirement
at Greenlands Cottage, Bloxham, near Banbury, and has recently entered on his
ninetieth year.
Obiter
scripta.
We can promise our readers something of the nature of a surprise in our October
number — The Rev. C. Plummer, formerly a Curator of the Library,
has presented seven autograph letters from Wilhelmina, Princess of
Orange (i8oi), the Marquess Cornwallis (i8oi), the Duke of York
(three: 1807-13), Queen Charlotte (1814), and the Duke of Wellington (1832).-
A good general account of the Library by Theodore W. Koch, the energetic
Librarian of the University of Michigan, is given in the American Library Journal^
October and November 1914, and has been reprinted separately. — It is sad to
record the death of our latest benefactor, a Fellow of All Souls, who gave us
;^50 last April, in view of his diminished expenses while at the front, and his
desire to aid the University at a trying time.— In cases where Periodicals stand
on the Reference shelves at Bodley, their latest numbers are now removed from
the Camera tables and kept with the series on the shelves, in accordance with
a suggestion from Professor Haverfield. — The B. Q. R. is among the periodicals
selected to be indexed in the new scheme of the Library Association and the
Athetueum. — Somt large-scale war maps are on exhibition in the Picture Gallery.
— The following names, which are additional to the list on pp, 59, 82 and 115,
bring up the tale of Bodleian absentees on military service to twenty*two.
Senior Assistant. Mr. R. A. Abrams (2nd Lieut., Sherwood Foresters).
Junior Assistant. R. G. Wilsdon (2nd Lieut., 9th Oxon. & Bucks. Regt.).
Extra Staff. Mr. H. J. Dunn (2nd Lieut., 9th Oxon. & Bucks. Regt.).

I. EARLY OXFORD COLLEGE MANUSCRIPTS
The following is a rough list of Oxford College manuscripts written before a.d. 1200.
The dating is taken from Coxe’s Catalogus (Oxford, 1852, 2 vols.) and Kitchin’s Catalogus
Codicum MSS, jEdis Christi (Oxford, 1867) ; but inasmuch as Coxe’s dating of Latin MSS.,
in particular in regard to those of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, is normally too high,
it will probably be found that many oi those here marked Ex, in reality fall into the suc¬
ceeding century. The MSS. of University, New, Lincoln, Brasenose, Jesus, and Hertford
Colleges are deposited in the Bodleian Library.

III. THE HUMAN ELEMENT IN A MANUSCRIPT
(MS. Hatton 113)
I'me traditional title Portiforium S. Oswaldi given to MS. Corpus Christi
College, Cambridge, 391 is clearly wrong, as that saint’s name appears in the first
hand of its kalendar; it might justly be called the Portiforium S. Wulfstani, for
it was written in the episcopate of the last Saxon bishop of Worcester and for his
use. But in the Bodleian MS. Hatton 113 we have a Homiliarium S. fVulfstaniy
a copy of sermons composed at the beginning of the eleventh century by Wulfstan,
Lupus episcopusy bishop of Worcester and archbishop of York, which was copied
for and used by his successor of the same name, S. Wulfstan, bishop of Worcester,
I046-95.
These Anglo-Saxon sermons are preceded by a Latin kalendar, &c., which
indicates sufficiently clearly the provenance and the date of the manuscript.
Mr. Edmund Bishop in The Bosworth Psaltery London, 1908, p. 161, considers
the kalendar an Evesham one, but a comparison of it with ten other Worcester
and two Evesham Kalendars reveals that it has 37 feasts which do not appear to
have been kept at Evesham, whilst there are 9 feasts at Evesham which are not
found in this manuscript. But the obits, of which there are 45 in the first and
7 in the second hand, include four bishops of Worcester from 1002 to 1038, three
or four priors or deans of Worcester, and at least 8 names which may be identified
with Worcester monks, as against one, ^fricus, ‘ decanus in Evesham ’; but in this
case, as the previous day has the obit of another ^fricus, ‘ frater noster sacerdos ’,
presumably a Worcester monk, the second entry, in order to prevent confusion,
states that this yEfricus was also called iEfic, and was decanus at Evesham.
The connexion of the kalendar with S. Wulfstan is shown by the occurrence
in it of the obits of his father, his mother, and one of his brothers, Byrestanus (the
obit of another of his brothers, ‘yElfstani, f. w. e.’ (= fratris Wulfstani episcopi),
is added in the sister Cambridge MS.); the name of Wulfstani - epi is twice
written in cryptogram, vowels being represented by the next succeeding consonant.
No other kalendar is known where three such obits are inserted ; it seems to mark
it as the personal property of the bisHop.
The latest obit in the original hand is 5 August : ‘ hie occisus fuit griffin rex
biutorum ’ (f 1063), the first added obit, 9 Sept., Godfizvu comitissa (f before
Digitized by

J085, probably about 1080). These dates, 1063-80 (85), may be further reduced ;
as the kalendarial tables on f. x'', like those of C.C.C. 391, extend in the original
hand for the cycle 1064-95, and on f. ix from 1056-83, the limits of possible date
are 1064-83, but a dot to the left of 1070 on f. x'" (and possibly other scratchings
in columns ii and 12 and a tiny mark in the fifth column for that year) suggest
that year as the one in which the manuscript was copied, for it is by no means
unusual for a scribe in copying kalendarial tables thus to mark the actual year in
which he was working. This table has a further peculiarity; after copying the
figures and letters for 1064-95, the scribe inserted in smaller writing those for
1062, 1063, and wrote in the margin of 1062 : or. to, e.y i.e. ordinatio wulfstani
episcopi.
One may even conjecture the date of the earlier kalendar from which this one
was transcribed. There are at least seven obits of persons who died between 1038
and 1046, while no mention is made of the two bishops of Worcester who came
between Byrhteagus and S. Wulfstan; this suggests that the exemplar was
written about 1046.
Putting these facts together, I venture to suggest the following as a possible
history of the manuscript. When Wulfstan was made prior of Worcester in 1046,
and during his priorate, he used a kalendar in which he inserted the death days
of monks of his abbey, of some of his personal friends, and also those of his father,
mother, and brother; in 1070, six years after he had been made bishop, he had
his predecessor’s sermons copied for his use in his diocese (some of his contem¬
poraries considered him a very ignorant man); to this he had prefixed a copy
of his old kalendar, with all its obits, and, in order to chronicle the years of his
episcopate, he ordered its first two years to be inserted before the ordinary cycle
which commences with 1064, and also a reference to his consecration.
On the first leaf of the manuscript, originally blank, is a copy of the summons
from Rome for his attendance at the Council of Winchester at Easter, 1070, and,
in a slightly later hand, two prayers for the peace of the Church and for the King ;
S. Wulfstan being one of the first English bishops to make his submission to the
Conqueror.
Students of manuscripts are sometimes weary with the monotony of their
work; but they are well rewarded when they can find in them such personal
traits as arc here described.

IV. THE OPENING OF THE RADCLIFFE LIBRARY IN 1749
The Radcliffe Camera is in popular estimation so indissolubly a part of the Bodleian that
we make no apology for printing two letters very recently purchased by the Library, which
describe the great day of the opening of the building on April 13, 1749. At that time,
Dr. William King, the well-known Principal of St. Mary Hall, and leader of the Jacobite
party in Oxford, was selected to deliver the Latin Speech at the Dedication, and by a series
of sentences near the close, all beginning with ‘ Redeat ’, so inflamed the Jacobite proclivities
of the audience that a great commotion was caused, which is reflected in contemporary litera¬
ture. The pamphlets, however, are far more vituperative than narrative, and for this reason
the two letters which follow seem to give the best account of the scene which has been written.
They were enclosed in a covering letter sent by one Dr. Dicker to Lord Pelham to induce the
latter to take active measures to restrain the University. It should be remembered that
Hearne, the Diarist and Oxford antiquary, died in 1735, and that till the first local newspaper
was started in 1753 there is a deficiency in Oxford annals which these letters may help to fill up.
The first writer, Thomas Bray, was a member of Exeter College, and was afterward elected
Rector. Benjamin Kennicott, fellow of Exeter College, was appointed Radcliffe Librarian
in 1767. He was a distinguished Hebrew scholar.
Driffield, April 24th, 1749.
Dear Sir,
I rec** the favour of your kind Letter, & tho’ I had said something of our late
Solemnity as much as my other Avocations would than allow me, yet now having
an hour or two at command I will give you the Skeleton of the whole. The 13th •
was the Day appointed to open the Library. But on the Munday proceeding,
at the request of the Trustees three Doctors of Physick by Diploma were made
Conyers, Kenneday, & Pitcairn. The Faculty of Physick was chagrined at this
profusion of priviledge ; but did not oppose y* favour openly. But Doctor Taylor
of Ail Souls in a most audacious Speech called the Candidates Medicaster’s,
Empyricks, & what not*. Doctor King was unprepar’d, yet after much Internal
Conflict, he hammer’d out three pretty severe sentances against D"^ Taylor which
touch’d him to the quick, his Lips went long for a Reply & if his countenance
was a true Index of his mind, it was fill’d with an uncommon degree of Indignation.
But after a long str(u)ggle & a total Dereliction of Latinity the Debate ended,
& the favour pass’d without Scrutiny. Tuesday nothing was done. On Wednesday
at 10 o’clock the University was Assembled in the Theatre, when Eight Honorary
Doctors of Law were made, & two Masters of Arts one of which was M’’ Gibbs
the Architect. D*" Brooks Professor of Law would not suffer any person to interfere
in his Province of presenting & went through his Duty with Honour. At four in
the afternoon we were entertained with the Oratorio of Esther. On Thursday
was the Grand Hurly Burly. In the morn* the Members of Convocation, &

Batchelors of Law were assembled at S‘ Mary’s at the ringing of the great Bell.
From thenci: we went in Procession to All Souls to Wait upon the Trustees, and
with them at our Head next to y“ Vice Can : went to the Radcliffe Library, there
the Key was deliver’d to him by the Trustees & he made them a short Speech with
his usual preturbation. The Doctors continued the procession to the Theatre,
but the Masters impatient at their Dilatory Steps of the Gouty & Decripid flew
off & went & seated themselves to give the venerable Elders a decent Reception,
and now Seven more Doctors of Law were made. Then D'' Lewis from one of
the Rostroms made an Incomparable Speech in praise of D'^ Radcliffe of half an
Hour long during which time the Audience grew tired not through any defect of
the Orator but out of Impatience to hear D*^ King. When D*" Lewis ended
a fine piece of Musick was play’d off. D’’ King arose in all the Majesty of Ancient
Eloquence. Bless’d the Day in which he had the Honour to Speak before that
Illustrious Assembly. Blessed himself that neither y® Infermities of Age nor an
ill state of Health deprived him of that opportunity of taking his final Leave of
the Publick as an Orator. Then he adorned D*” Radcliffe for his uncommon
Abilities as a Physician His Princely Liberality as a Benefactor & took care at y®
same time to sprinkle with some Grains of Acrimony y® Great & Rich who after
an Education & Sometimes a Maintenance here & return nothing to the Fountain
Head. He insisted on the particular Nature of D"" Radcliffe’s Benefaction.
Told us how Ptolemy’s Library in Egypt immortalized its founder. That Greece
& Rome in their highest Prosperity thought the erecting Library’s one of the
Best Benefactions to the Publick. And could not but observe that the Library
founded at Rome was placed in Atrio Templi Libertatis. Which he appre¬
hended was purposely designed to signify that Learning & Liberty were strictly
connected that one could not flourish but under the Roof of the other &
that they must stand or fall together. Here he took fire at certain malignant
Spirits which he said were endeavouring to destroy those seats of Liberty & Learn¬
ing & Sacralegiously to convert these VT'ncrable Buildings into Stables of Horses.
He then grew very abusive inveighing against Blacovv under the Title of
Delator Infamis. Lamented the Iniquity, Corruption, & Degeneracy of the
Times, the Prostitution & Venality of the Great. Described bad Kings & Ironi¬
cally excepted his Majesty. Drew y® character of military Hero’s & without
mentioning the Duke of Cumberland, cast Reflections that without any Violence
might be apply’d to him. Spoke of War, Peace, Soldiers, Senators with that
Liberty which he said was Natural to him. In short he told us y® nation was in such

a Deplorable & Desperate State that nothing but Providence could save it from
absolute Ruin. As all human means therefore were insufficient, he betook himself
to Prayer. His devotion was as Virulent as his Harangue. Among other things he
pray’d that in case we lost our Chancelor we might chose another another [sic] of a
particular Character which he described & intended to have understood as a Com¬
pliment to y* Duke of Beaufort, putt a Severe Satyr on the D. of New Castle by
way of opposition & contrast. Prayed that future Vice-Can* might be such as the
present & resemble him in firmness & Constancy. That the Seniors of the Univer¬
sity might have their respective good Qualities and the Juniors their. That all
Ladies which hereafter came to honour us with their Company & Countenance
might resemble the present in Beauty & Elegance. Upon the whole the Speech
was very inflaming, & will not lessen the present disrespect for the University
that prevails so much. The manner of our Orator I have before described. At
the conclusion of his Speech was perform’d another piece of Musick. And when the
Vice Can. made a Speech to the Trustees Said he would Speak what he might
Speak safely. And Indeed said nothing but what was Innocent enough & would
have been proof against the Inquisition. At 4 in the Even’ the Oratorio of Sampson
was performed. Friday the 14 at ii in the morning met again in the Theatre
made fifteen more Doctors of y* law one Master, & our Professor Hayes Doctor
of Musick. D'’ Brooks now behaved like an Angel. Made one General Intro¬
ductory Speech. Congratulated'the University, The Faculty of Law Himself
y* Proffessor on the Accession of so much Honour, by the Advancement of so
many Persons of the Highest Rank & Eminence, to the greatest Mark of Distinction
the university could compliment them with. As their Virtues & Qualifications
were Similar (as some were desperate Rakes, a shrewd Rub upon the Rest) he did
not think it necessary to enter minutely into their particular Characters. Besides
commendation was become a dangerous Province, when it was fashionable in
praising one Great Man to abuse another.
In this manner he went on to the Infinite satisfaction of these who disapproved
Kings factious Speech, he cropt all the flowers By Patria, he said, he did not
understand Solum, but Jura, Leges, Instituta. And whoever by the arts of
Eloquence endeavoured to alienate Mens Affections from the Established Laws
of our Countrey which we are under the most Sacred Obligations to support, is
not only destitute of all Real Love for his Countrey but is Huic leo Hostis perni-
ciosissimus.

than the Vice Can. And tho’ the party is the same their Crests are considerably
lowered. They abuse D"" Brooks Speech as if it was not Elegant Latin. Burton
of Corpus whose Judgment must be allowed an unexceptionable Standard pro¬
nounces Brook’s Latin to be more Classical than D*^ Kings. In the Evening
the Sacred Oratorio when Hayes appeared in his White Satin Robe turned
up with Crimson, concluded the Solemnity.
And now Sir as to my own affair, the Bishop treats it with as much civility
as I could wish. The Proctor on the contrary opposes it with all his strength
& I am persuaded has induced some, I mean Ibbotsons Party, perhaps all but
M' Webber & M*” Granger, to concur with him in opposing, upon Conditions
that he votes for them at the Election following. This I am not certain of,
but believe will prove true & should it be so, it would be most Infamous in some
who have expresly declared themselves to me on the other side. The Visitor
might still do what he pleased, but how far his Lordship would be Induced to
take Cognizance of the Affair without a Majority giving leave for a Application
I cannot tell. The first thing to be tried for is a Majority in Chappel on the
10 *** of May, which instead of giving notice as y® Bishop directs the Proctor hath
called it in a peremtory manner. I hope I shall succeed even in that. But as
I have this thing extremely at Heart, all Friendship that is shewen me on this
occasion I shall retain a lasting Sense of. And I Cannot but but [jiV] desire, if you
approve of it my Compliments to y* Dean of Exeter; & thanks for what he has
done in my favour at London. And I should still be further obliged to him if
he would be pleased to take some Opportunity to mention what pass’d when my
Letters were seen by the Great Man.

The first thing remarkable on this extraordinary occasion was a Request made
by Radcliffe’s Trustees, that the University woud confer the Degree of of
Physick on, Pitcairne, Conyers, & Kennedy. This proposal met with great
Opposition from the Faculty in Oxford, but on Monday (April the lo*^) it pass’d in
Convocation, tho with Difficulty. Docf Taylor of All Souls spoke warmly against
it, & D*^ King as warmly in favour of the Petition. These three Degrees were
conferr’d by Diploma, as was that of D*" of Laws on Brown Willis Esq, the
Antiquarian. Almost all the Lodgings in Oxford had been engaged for some
time, & on Monday Night the Town began to fill. There had been publish’d
this Morning a Programma requiring a strict Decorum during this Weeks Solem¬
nity—declaring the Processions to be made—how—& where, & when—Appoint*
the particular part of the Theatre for the Gentlemen of each Degree, for Ladies
& Strangers. And constituting a Dean of every house a Proctor. Tuesday Noon
arrived three of the Trustees, the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Oxford, &
M*^ Smith, who were welcomed by almost all the Bells in the City, & were enter-
taind at Dinner by M*^ Rowney one of the City Members, S. Watkins Williams
Wynne, & S'” Walter Bagot, two other Trustees came the day after. Wednesday
forenoon at Eleven the Whole University being seated in the Theatre in their
Robes, & according to their Standing, the Degree of Docf of Laws was conferr’d
on Lord Harley, S'" John Phillips, S'" John Shaw, WUliam Drake, Peniston Powney,
John Willes, Peregrine Palmer (University Member) & Norborne Berkley Esq.
& S'” Walter Bagots Son, & M*" Gibbs the Architect were made Masters of Arts.
Doctor Brookes the Law Professor presented the Eight first in Speeches very
properly adapted & handsomely composed. There were present ab* 70 Doctors,
& as many Gownsmen as almost filld the Theatre. The Trustees were entertain’d
at Dinner to day by the Vice Chancellor. In the Afternoon at four began the
first Oratorio, which was Esther. The Management of the Musick was committed
to M*" Hayes the University Professor, who had got together from London & other
Places about forty Voices & fifty Instruments. This first Oratorio was performed
to a Company of about 15000, & the only part anchored was the fine Coronation
Anthem, God save the King. It was observed by some that this whole Line was
remarkable Mercy to Jacob's Race, God save the King. Thursday Morning at ten
the Doctors & Masters met at S* Mary’s, & waited on the Trustees to the Library,
where the Duke of Beaufort in tlic Name of the Trustees, presented the Vice
Chancellor with the Key, for which the Vice Chancellor returned the Thanks of
the University, but ref err’d the Trustees for more particular Thanks to Doctor

Lewis & D*" King, who were appointed publick Orators on this occasion. The
University being seated in the Theatre, & the Orators in the two Rostrums, over
the East & West door, the Degree of O'" of Laws was confer’d on L** Westmorland,
L** Burleigh, S'" Leicester Holt, S'" Roger Newdigate, Fran® Dashwood, & Anstis
King at Arms, & S'" Charles Sedley. Then a flourish of Musick, which preceded
& succeeded every Article of Business. And then Doctor Lewis spoke for about
half an hour in a manner so elegant & Masterly as did great honour to the Manes
of D*^ Radcliffe, the Trustees & himself. After which, amidst the Thunder of the
Theatre, rose the great Oxford Orator, & Patriot, D*^ King, to deliver, as he said,
his last Speech to the University. He spoke near an hour, seemingly Memoriter,
but, tis said his Son sat behind him to prompt him, & to hold his Lemon. Strangers
and Oxonians all agreed to give the Doctor the greatest of Characters, as an orator
for his manner, but the Matter of his Oration was not so universally agreeable.
Tis said, that the Doctor had been previously desired to be decent in his political
Reflections. But—he was resolved to go off gloriously, & to speak, this once, with
all the Spirit of a Dying Patriot. It wou’d be as improper as it is impossible, to
give the Substance of his whole Speech. One part of it, however, w^as the Praise
of D'' Radcliffe & the Trustees—He observed the great Library at Rome was
founded in the Temple of Liberty—^Then he came on to the present unhappy
Situation of Oxford, & the miserable State of poor Great Britain, & concluded,
since all Other Endeavours to save this Nation from Corruption and-were
found ineffectual, we shou’d betake our Selves to Prayer, & the proper heads of
this Political Prayer he then enumerated ; but before he began this, the most
slippery part of his Oration, he enterd a strong Caveat against being misunder¬
stood or misrepresented ; but tis probable most of those who understood his
Language very readily apprehended his Meaning—Redeat Astra^a Nostra, Virgo
Ca'lestis—Redeat Genius ille Britannite, sive sit Nuntius, sive sit ipse Spiritus
Dei—Redeat cfficiatque Rempublicam nostram salvam &c. &c. If these were some
of his Expressions, tis certain they cou’dn’t be understood in many different
Senses. I shall only observe that one part of his prayer was, may all our future
Vicechancellors be like the present.
I'his Oration being finished we had one of Handels Anthems, & then a Short
Speech of Thanks to the Trustees from the Vice-Chancellor. After which the
Convocation was dissolved, & the Vice-Chancellor & Trustees walkd out amidst
the Loud Acclamations of the Young part of the L^niversity, who were absurd
enough to call out upon S’' W'atkins Williams Wynne by Name, with peculiar

Marks of Applause to him, & weak enough to hiss the Rector of Exeter College by
Name. For which no proper Reason, I believe can be given, unless it be that
Firmness and Zeal with which he has always opposed the Wrong Politicks of
certain Persons. The Trustees dined to day with the Vice Ch'' & in the afternoon
we had the Oratorio of Sampson. Friday at 11 was held another Convocation at the
Theatre, when the following Gent, were made Docf^* of Law, L** James Manners,
Rob* Burdett, S*^ Charles Chester, S'" John Tyrrel, Rob* Jenkinson, S* Philip
Hobby, S*^ Rich** Atkins, Nathaniel Cursons, Wrightson Munday, Francis Page,
John Rolle Walters, George Lucy, John Robinson, John Moreton, James Dawkins
& William Meredith Esq. Professor Brooks presented all these in one Speech,
for as he had not had time to particularise all their Virtues, & perhaps there was
no great Occasion for it, so he lump’d them together with the Title of—all Hon**'*'
Men, & then proceeded to animadvert in a well composed but Severe piece of
Satyr on the Second Orator of Yesterday. He hop’d that such a Concourse of
Venerable persons had been now assembled, not from a political principle but the
Love of Learning, & therefore was sorry their Ears had been so abused with Reflec¬
tions on the Misery of the Nation—^That the Man who endeavour’d to rouse the
Spirit of Discontent by Insinuations against the Peace of his Country, (& by the
Country must be meant the Laws, the Constitution & the King of it) took the
ready way to undermine those Laws & that Constitution, which alone coud support
both the University & Great Britain. And as he woudn’t scruple to pronounce
such a Man the greatest Enemy to his Country, & to the University, so his Prayer
shou’d be, Absit ut Tempera sint iniqua Academise, vel Academia Temporibus.
After these Law Degrees M*" Hayes was made D"^ of Musick, & was presented by
our great Professor Doctor Bradley in an excellent Speech very oratorically
delivered. And the last Degree was that of Master of Arts conferr’d on John
Hodges Esq, Then Musick—with God save the King. The Vice Chan*" & Doctors
dined this day with the Trustees, & in the Afternoon was the Oratorio of the
Messiah, when D*^ Hayes appear’d in his New Robes at the head of the Band of
Musick.—Tis computed that our Musick professor has gott by these three days
about £700. besides ^^300. or more paid the Performers, & laid out in the Scaffold
erected on the Theatre for the Musick. Which Scaffold was hung round with
Scarlet Cloth. I shall only add that tis computed there has been expended this
Week in the place near £20,000.

V. A SINGULAR RECOVERY OF MISSING LEAVES
Under date of the year 1750 I have told the story, in the Annals of the Bodleian, of the
finding of some leaves which were missing in a Bible printed on vellum by Fust and Schoeffer
in 1462, and bought in 1750, amongst the Canonici MSS. in 1818. There was a similar recovery
by Professor Rigaud of a missing portion of Cranmer’s Bible from a grocer’s waste paper, of
which the following account was written for me in August, 1891, by Miss Jane Rigaud, daughter
of the Professor, after the publication of the second edition of the Annals in 1890.
W. D. Macray.
March, 1915.
‘It was some time about 1830 that Professor Rigaud went into the grocer’s
shop in St. Giles’ newly established by G. Bridges. Whilst he was waiting, he
observed a large folio volume, ready to be used as waste paper ; on examining it
he found that it was a copy in black letter of Cranmer’s Bible. On inquiring
whether he could purchase it the answer was in the affirmative—price was id. per lb.
The volume was put into the scales, duly paid for according to its weight, and
Professor Rigaud carried it home to the Radcliffe Observatory. On examination
it was found to be perfectly complete ; but there was a duplicate copy of the last
sheet of the Book of the Revelation. The copy of Cranmer’s Bible then in the Bod¬
leian Library was deficient by one sheet, the last of the Book of the Revelation ;
the missing portion was thus recovered. Some years ago, when Mr. Coxe was shew¬
ing the various treasures to Miss Bodley (a descendant of Sir Thomas Bodley), this
circumstance was referred to by me—he turned to the bookshelves and shewed
the volume, the binding having been loosened to attach the duplicate sheet.
I have an idea the volume weighed 14 lb., costing is. zd.^

^arterly Record
NOTES AND NEWS
The John Rylands Library has taken up with much activity and public spirit the
task of organizing the collecting of books to form part of a new library
Y for the University of Louvain. The appeal issued by the great
Manchester Library is irresistible, and our readers will well under¬
stand with what sympathy it was received at the Bodleian. We printed at p. 71
(in our third number) a document testifying to the relations between the Univer¬
sities of Louvain and Oxford from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. But
it seems to us premature to oflFer books before Louvain is able to receive them.
When that time comes, the Curators will be consulted on the question of offering
such of our more valuable duplicates as may seem likely to be acceptable. Mean¬
while, we call attention with pleasure to the appeal, and to the proposed formation
of an International Committee for the restoration of that devastated university
library. Bew inceptum, semiperfectum.
No further depletion of the Staff has taken place since our last number, but
Mr. Somerset has come back to England for a rest, and Mr. Steele
has paid us a visit, wounded in the leg and slightly suffering from
gas-poisoning and consequent insomnia. Both have our best wishes
for their complete recovery, of which there seems to be every prospect.
Miss Underhill, one of the Senior Assistants, has earned the gratitude of the Staff
by organizing and starting a scheme under which every member of the Staff on
active service abroad receives once a month a substantial parcel of cigarettes,
assorted edibles, and other comforts, with a request for suggestions of improve¬
ment. We receive most grateful letters in return, some of which we should print
for their intrinsic interest, if our space, or (to speak more plainly) our finances
allowed.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
That Mr. Edward Gordon Duff, M.A., of Wadham, whose eminence in English
^ bibliography is acknowledged on all sides, should have come back to
Duff and ’ Oxford is a matter of importance to the Bodleian, as well
Dr. Aitkgn. interest to all our readers. He has done good work for the
Library in former years, especially in 1886-7; and few College
Libraries have not had the benefit of his special knowledge of early books and
bindings. We may call attention also to the progress of Dr. Aitken’s painstaking
and persevering efforts to provide a list of all books in College Libraries printed
before 1600 which are not found in the old printed Bodleian Catalogue of 1843-51,
that is to say, which were not in the Bodleian about 1845. He has finished, or
nearly finished, Balliol, Brasenose, Christ Church, Hertford, Keble, Lincoln,
Magdalen, Merton, Oriel, and University, and is engaged on All Souls, Jesus,
and Queen’s. He claims to have provided forty thousand entries relating to
works which were not in the Bodleian seventy years ago—which implies a rich
find indeed, though the number of entries for one work may vary from one
to twenty or so, since editors and separate authors in a collection are included.
It is only fair to note that the Colleges in question have shown their liberality by
remunerating Dr. Aitken on a fixed scale for his valuable work. He has lately
discovered a copy of Elias Levita’s T ischbi (undated) in Merton College, with the
autograph inscription, * Henrico Sauille Tho. Bodlseus ad exteras nationes Oxonia
proficiscens D.D.’, 1576.
A Psalter of the second quarter of the fourteenth century, referenced as MS.
Hatton 52, has been found to belong to the East Anglian school of
An lian which the Arundel, Gorleston, and Ormesby Psalters
Psalter. British Museum, Dyson-Perrins, and Bodleian Libraries respec¬
tively) are the finest examples. The style of the illumination, the gro¬
tesques and especially the heraldry, alike associate it with that school. On the other
hand, the calendar prefixed to the Psalter exhibits no relationship with the eastern
counties, although it was written at the same time and in the same scriptorium
as the rest of the volume : it is in fact a calendar of Christ Church Priory at Can¬
terbury, transcribed without alteration or modification, and as such it has been
printed in Mr. Edmund Bishop’s monograph on the Bosworth Psalter. Inasmuch
as the calendar had been recognized as belonging to Canterbury, the character of
the illumination has hitherto been unobserved; but what appears at first sight
as a conflict of testimony may serve to fix with precision the locality in which the

work was executed, namely, some property of the monks of Christ Church in the
eastern counties. This is most likely to have been Depham in Norfolk, of which
church the prior and convent of Christ Church held the advowson. H, H. E. C.
The list of the Hatton MSS. in the 1697 Catalogue is one of the least satisfactory
parts of that work; and the English MSS. in particular are imper-
described. Thus * The New Testament in English ’ (No. 4050)
Psalter ^ ^ Wycliffe’s earlier version; ‘ The Mirrour of the Blessed Life of
Our Lord Jesus Christ ’ (No. 4101) is Nicholas Love’s translation of
St. Bonaventura ; two copies of *' An old English Poem, being a Paraphrase upon
the Lord’s Prayer, &c ’ (Nos. 4109, 4110) turn out to be William of Nassington’s
Speculum Vitae ; the ‘ Old English Homilies ’ in No. 4124 contain two hitherto
unnoticed MSS. of Mirk’s Festial; and ‘ A Comment upon the Psalms, Hymns,
and Decalogue by a certain Abbot ’ (No. 4127) was in reality composed by Richard
Rolle of Hampole, and is his translation of the Psalter. This last, a fine folio of
213 leaves, was unknown to the Rev. H. R. Bramley, who edited RoUe’s Psalter
for the Clarendon Press in 1884. It resembles three other MSS. of the work (the
University College MS. which Mr. Bramley took for his text; an imperfect MS.
discovered by the Rev. J. T. Fowler in the vestry of St. Nicholas’ Church, New¬
castle-upon-Tyne ; and MS. Laud misc. 286) in being written in pure northern
dialect: but it is older than any of them, and a chronological note on a fly-leaf
dates it as not later than a. d. i 386. The second of the test-passages given in
Mr. Bramley’s introduction runs in the Hatton MS. as follows:
* On snake and tht basiliske thou sal ga and thou sal defoule tht lyon and th^
dragoun. T ho snake werpes and tho tade norysches tho egge and thzx of es broght
forth tho basilisk thzt es cald king of serpentis. for a white spot es in his heued.

Reference was made in our last number to the discovery by the Rev. H. E. Salter
of the spot where the first Oxford printing took place. In another
part of the same Chartulary Mr. Salter discloses the very shop where
‘ the celebrated John Dorn kept his stock of books ’. In the first and
second volumes of the Oxford Historical Society’s Collectanea (1885
and 1900) was printed the daily ledger of John Dome, a Dutch bookseller in Oxford,

from January 19 to December 23, 1520, which throws an interesting sidelight on
the literary tastes and studies of Oxford students at that date. ‘ We see him
obscurely the introduction of 1885 says, ‘ seated in his shop, ready for every
class of customer, with ballads and almanacks for those of light heart and light
purse, portiforiums and missals for the monks, and ponderous commentaries on the
Master of the Sentences for such as could carry them away. His bargains for
ready money seem to be usually on the safe side, to judge by Nos. 189 (“ Elegantias:
non habet elegantias, recepi y ”), 1490 (“ Haymo : recepi i nobl., sed non recepit
Haymo ”) and others : occasionally, however, we find (No. 1179) “ Epistole: mester
Lupset habet et non soluit ”, and (No. 1490) “ non recepi, a mocke”.’ It is now
demonstrated by Mr. Salter that ‘ Johon Thorne, bokesyller,’was occupant of a shop
with 9 feet 9 inches of frontage to the High Street, almost exactly where the new
gateway of Oriel now stands, facing St. Mary’s Church. Principal Lindsay calculated
that Dome sold 2,383 books in the year, about 250 of which were by Erasmus
(Kept, of Stirling’s and Glasgow Public Library for 1906-7, Glasg. 1907, pp. 8,13).
Vocabula-
rium Ne-
brissense.
The state of bibliography even half a century ago is exemplified in a Venetian
edition of the Vocabularium Nebrissensfy printed in 1520 and now in
the Bodleian. It is a dictionary of Latin, Sicilian, and Spanish by
Aelius Antonius Nebrissensis, a Spanish scholar and historian who
died in 1522. A note of about 1865-70 states that it was ‘ Turned
out as a duplicate of... [a Granada 1572 edition !], but reinstated by the Curators ’.
What feelings or what incident this note revealed is now happily forgotten, but
the danger incurred by the volume is obvious. As a fact the edition is not recorded
in Panzer, Graesse, Brunet, or even in Antonio’s Bibliotheca Hispana Nova, nor is
it in the British Museum, the University Library at Cambridge, the Advocates’
Library at Edinburgh, the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, nor the Bibliotheque
Nationale at Paris. The book had been badly weakened and injured by damp, and
could not be given out to readers, but it has recently been renovated by the new
web process at a considerable expense, and is now as sound as it can be made.
Mr. Charles Hughes of Manchester has favoured us with the following interesting
note on a very rare Bodleian book, The Fatal Nuptiall. ‘ This tract,
in the Rawlinson collection, contains a poem based on the great
Ferry accident on Lake Windermere in 1635 in which forty-seven
people were drowned. The large number of deaths was due to a wedding

party accompanying the carts returning from Hawkshead market. The poem
was mentioned by Rawlinson himself—who was the grandson of a Hawkshead
landowner—in the English topographer^ 1720. It was included by Rawlinson in
his gift of books to the Bodleian, among which it was first discovered about three
years ago by the present writer. It is of great local interest, and is at present the
only copy known. Mr. W. G. Collingwood has published an account of the Fatal
Nuptiall in the transactions of the Cumberland and Westmoreland Antiquarian
and Archaeological Society, Vol. XIII, New Series. He gives many reasons for
ascribing its authorship to Richard Brathwait, best known perhaps by his whimsical
Latin and English poem of “ Druncken Barnabee”, but with a later and long career
as a writer of reputable books which just escaped being works of very high class.
It was printed by the same printer, Felix Kingston, and sold by Robert Bostocke,
who for five years had been printing and publishing other books by Brathwait.
It shows many distinctive peculiarities of style in common with Brathwait’s
known works. Brathwait was residing at the time of the poem at Burneside Hall,
near Kendal. In fact, the authorship of Richard Brathwait may be considered
proved.’ C. H.
the Picture
Gallery.
In its earlier days the Bodleian was the only public receptacle in Oxford for
curiosities of every kind, and received among other titbits a Mus¬
covite cloak made from a vegetable lamb, known as the Agnus
Scythicus ; a tanned human skin, a mummified negro, Guy Fawkes’s
Lantern, and the like. But it also accumulated a valuable series of Pictures, of
which the chief ones of artistic value have recently migrated to the University
Galleries at the Ashmolean and the ceremonial ones adorn the walls of the New
Schools. These disturbances left the remaining pictures in some confusion, and
advantage has been taken of the publication by Mrs. Poole of her important
catalogue of all the pictures and busts or statues owned by the University (Oxford,
1912) to give the Picture Gallery a more orderly arrangement. Dr. Cowley and
Mr. C. F. Bell, Keeper of the Fine Art Gallery at the Ashmolean, took the matter
in hand in July last and, in spite of the unfavourable position of the windows
which makes satisfactory lighting impossible, have grouped the pictures in much
better places, and have greatly improved the general appearance of the Gallery.
It remains to revise the labels of the pictures in more strict accordance with
Mrs. Poole’s descriptions and discoveries, and this task will shortly be taken
in hand.

178 BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
As opportunity offers, a statistical survey of the contents of the Library is being
carried out. It is hoped that in the April number of the B. Q. R,
a full set of figures may be printed. Unsatisfactory as estimates and
calculations usually are, they will be found in this case to be, at any
rate, based on actual counting and measurement. And though the
expression * number of books ’ is thoroughly ambiguous, some persons referring
to the bound volumes as they stand on the shelves, some to the number of
separate publications or parts which have a title-page to themselves, while
others count in every separate literary ‘ item ’, such as the numbers of a
daily paper, it is possible to state what is meant, and to give definite
information on that understanding. For instance, it is a thoroughly practical
scheme to give the length of shelvage occupied by books, and by a large
number of observations of the average number of books in a foot-run to com¬
pile an approximate statement of the total of separate volumes. The partial
statement which follows is believed to be fairly correct, and may be regarded
as an instalment of the complete one which is to follow—a statement which
will include an estimate of weights and cubical contents, as well as a description
of the methods adopted.
Numbers of
Bodleian
books.
The Well-known Old Reading Room, in the shape of an H, contains the great bulk
Stat't’ f printed books acquired before 1825, and has been counted and
^ measured. The number of volumes as bound and on the shelves is
books. about 61,000 (14,600 fohos, 15,200 quartos, 31,200 octavos). The
rest of the Bodleian Quadrangle contains all the manuscripts (about
40,000), the Incunabula, many Western printed books up to about 1825, the Oriental
books, British topography. Law, Music, and a few other sections. This part has been
partly counted and all measured, and the estimates are based on a considerable
number of averages. The totals of the Old Reading Room and Quadrangle
together, as above described, are:—Volumes, about 418,000 (120,600 folios,
185,700 quartos, 111,700 octavos), occupying 8J miles of shelvage. The portion
thus estimated is less than one half of the Library, but contains the older books
and the manuscripts—^which accounts for the large proportion of folios and the
small proportion of octavos. As recently as 1914 the British Empire Universities
Modem English Illustrated Dictionary (p. 948) ascribes to us a total of only 700,000
volumes.

The Statement of Accounts which follows shows that while the Bodleian Quarterly
Record is making way, it needs 500 subscribers to enable it to be
self-supporting. At present it has about 325, and depends for
solvency on kindly subsidies. With respect to the liabilities, it is
known that most of the Life-Subscribers are not likely to ask for their money to be
returned, if by any mischance the Record came to grief. In fact, that liability will
not fall on the Library. —A very appreciative notice of the B. Q. /?., written by
a recent reader in the Library, Professor Comfort, of Cornell University, appears
in the New York Nation^ September 2, 1915.—The Bywater bookcase is now in
position and being rapidly filled with books. If facilities for visiting it can be
arranged, due notice will be given in the University Gazette.—\Jn\vtx%\ty College
has followed the example of Brasenose in generously offering to the Bodleian such
books as the latter does not possess, out of a considerable number for which
the College has no further use ; and 338 such volumes have been accepted with
gratitude. — On p. 142 of No. 6 ‘held the house’ should read ‘lately held the
house ’, and ‘ not of Cologne ’ should read ‘ to be distinguished from the other
Theodoricus of Cologne’.

DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS
I. TWELFTH-CENTURY LATIN BODLEIAN MSS.
Part I
The following is the first part of a list of Latin manuscripts in the Bodleian written in
the twelfth century. Similar lists have been printed in former numbers of the Quarterly
Record^ viz. Latin Bodleian manuscripts written before a. d. i ioo in No. 3 (and corrigenda
in No. 6), Greek Bodleian manuscripts written before a. d. 1200 in No. 4, Latin and Greek
manuscripts in Oxford college libraries written before a. d. 1200 (which should have been
signed ‘ H. H. E. C.’) in No. 6. The number of twelfth-century Latin manuscripts
greatly exceeds that of manuscripts of earlier date, and the present list of 214 manu¬
scripts only reaches No. 2000 in the Summary Catalogue, while the total number of
manuscripts in the Catalogue exceeds 36,000. The bulk of the twelfth-century manuscripts
are, however, comprised in the first 3,500. Further instalments will be given in future
numbers of the Quarterly Record. One Anglo-Saxon manuscript (1003), one Irish (1132),
and one French (1624), are included in the list. H. H. E. C.

DISCOVERY OF A NEARLY COMPLETE SPECIMEN OF THE FIRST
GREAT SEAL OF CHARLES II, A. D. 1649
I
A Bodleian reader recently called the Librarian’s attention to the presence
of a Great Seal of Charles II in one of the volumes of the Clarendon State Papers
(MS. Clarendon 37, fol. 94). Since it could not remain indefinitely in a bound
volume without incurring serious risk of being broken, the Librarian ordered
it to be removed from the document to which it was appended and to be kept
in a cardboard box referenced MS. Charters Middlesex 326*. It was handed
over to Mr. J. G. Wiblin, a member of the Extra Staff, for the purpose of hand¬
listing, and was recognized by him to be an almost perfect impression of the first
Great Seal of England of Charles II, of which the sole specimen hitherto known
was a shapeless lump of wax attached to a charter in the British Museum (Add.
Ch. 13585); Nos. 137-8 in Wyon’s Great Seals of England^ 1887, with an illustra¬
tion (PI. XXXV); No. 609 in the British Museum Catalogue of Seals (1887).
A remarkable feature of the discovery is that the seal had been noted and accurately
enough described in general terms in Dr. Macray’s Calendar of the Clarendon
Papers (Oxford, 1869), vol. ii, p. 9, No. 56, but without attracting the notice of
sigillographers. A full technical description of it has now been supplied by
Mr. Wiblin and is printed below.
Not only does this discovery supply a gap in the series of Great Seals of England
(a series otherwise complete except for the fourth seal of Henry VI for French
affairs) : it has a special historical interest of its own. The Royal Seal of Charles I,
captured at Oxford in 1646, had been defaced in Parliament on August ii of that
year, and its Parliamentary rival continued in sole use until the king’s execution.
On January 6, 1649, Parliament appointed a committee to take order for the
framing of a new Great Seal; and on February 8 this new Seal of the Common¬
wealth was brought into the House, and the old Parliamentary Seal was at the
same time broken up. Meanwhile the Prince of Wales, then an exile at
The Hague, assumed the title of King of England. He forthwith took
steps to provide himself with a Great Seal of his own. Clarendon informs us
that this first Great Seal of Charles 11 was lost in the defeat at Worcester

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
(September 1651). The British Museum charter, which was hitherto the sole
evidence for its use, is dated September 18, 1649: the Bodleian example is
attached to letters patent of Charles II (on veUum) granted to Sir Edward Hyde
and Francis Lord Cottington on May 10 of the same year, constituting them the
king’s plenipotentiaries in Spain. The name of the artist and the precise date
at which the seal was made are not recorded, but a warrant exists, dated June 6,
for the payment, amongst other sums, of a thousand guilders for casting the
Great Seal * by estimate’ {Hist. MSS. Cont.^ 15th report, appendix, pt. ii, p. 112;
Mr. Allan Wyon va Journal of the British Archaeological Association^ vol. 1 , 1894,
p. 142). The Bodleian commission, * datum Hagae comitis sub magno Angliae
sigillo ’, proves that the seal was in use a month earlier. That it was made at
The Hague is in every way probable, and it is natural to suppose that Charles II
issued orders for making a new Great Seal of England upon receiving news of his
father’s death.
Although no such order exists in regard to England, the original order for
making a Great Seal of Ireland exists in duplicate among the Carte papers in the
Bodleian Library, and, since it appears to be unpublished, is given below.
To our right trusty and right intirely beloued Cousin James Marquis of Ormond our
Lieutenant Generali of the Kingdome of Ireland. Right trusty and right intirely
beloued Cousin, We greet you well. Our will and pleasure is, and we heereby command
and authorize you to giue present Order for the making and grauing a Great Seale for
the Kingdome of Ireland in the usuall forme, but with our Inscription and Image in
stead of that of the King our late Father of blessed memory; and the said Seale being
made, and receiued by you, to commit the Custody thereof unto such person or persons
as you shall thinke fitt, in case the Chancellor cannot come to you to receiue and keepe
the same as formerly. Giuen vnder our signet at the Haghe, the 44 of february, in the
first yeare of our Reignc, [Signed] Charles R.
One of the two originals of this order (MS. Carte 23, fol. 497) is endorsed
as received on March 21, 1648/9, at the hands of Major-General Monro; the
other (MS. Carte 65, fol. 456) was entrusted to Captain Rutter, but the date
on which it was received is not given. Little attention has been directed to
the Great Seals of Ireland, and Charles I’s seal, upon which that of 1649 was
ordered to be modelled, does not appear to have been published. Presumably
Ormonde executed the order, although no impression of the seal is known, and
at Charles IPs restoration, in 1660, a new Great Seal of Ireland was made by
the well-known engraver, Thomas Simon.

11 . Description of the Seal
The seal is in dark yellow wax, and was originally attached to a broad strip
of parchment laced through the lower edge of the charter, and passing double
through the seal. Its diameter is exactly six inches. A portion of the obverse
is missing, viz. the section covering the upper third of the parchment tab, by
a pull on which the breakage was doubtless caused. The substance is considerably
thinner than in most impressions of the Great Seals.
The impression is sharp and clear over the greater part of the surface, but
there is a double imprint (due to a kind of side-slip) over one side on both obverse
and reverse. On the former it is most marked in the figure of the unicorn and
the banner held by it, which are both strongly duplicated ; so also are the letters
of the legend from the O of CAROLVS to the end of MAGNiE. On the reverse
it principally affects the king’s profile, the horse’s head and forelegs, the rose and
crown, and the words ET HIBERNIiE of the legend. On each surface the
effect is greatest at the edge, and vanishes near the centre of the seal, the rest
of the face being free from it. According to reliable authority, the matrices
of the obverse and reverse are on separate disks, on one of which a lump of wax
is laid, the other being then put on the top of the wax and the whole pile
subjected to pressure by screw or lever. Apparently, when this particular
impression was produced, the wax was not laid quite centrally on the lower
disk, and the upper one was not imposed in correct register with the other, so
that a readjustment had to be made; the wax had, however, received a partial
imprint, and had cooled somewhat before the final pressure was applied, so that
the first false impression was not whoUy obliterated.
Obverse.
The obverse shows the king enthroned, wearing the mantle and collar of
the Garter; the head is missing, but the lower ends of flowing locks and
of a narrow collar (not a ruff) are visible. The right hand holds a sceptre
upright, and the left hand rests on an orb supported on the left knee, which
is higher than the right. The king’s feet rest on a cushion which has tassels
at the corners. The front of the throne is ornamented with scrollwork; the
back is rather narrow and ascends vertically, the sides being carved; the top
is missing, but appears to have been surmounted by a canopy with two cherubs
and flying curtains. Outside the throne are, on the dexter side a lion sitting on
his haunches, turned inwards, supporting between his forepaws a banner of

St. George, the staff being outside; on the sinister side a unicorn gorged and
chained, in a similar position, holding a banner of St. Andrew.
Legend :
[CAJROLVS II DEI GRATIA MAGNiE BRITANNIA • FRANCIiE • ET
HIBERNIiE • REX • FIDEI DEFEN[SOR (? date)]
Reverse.
The king in Roman armour, on a prancing horse, both facing to the
spectator’s left. He wears a morion encircled by a crown and surmounted
by a lion statant guardant, and a cloak flying behind his back. The right
hand is raised level with the head, and brandishes a sword which projects
behind the head almost to the border. The horse has saddle-cloth and stirrups,
the saddle itself not showing; one rein is visible, but no bridle. In the field,
behind the king’s back, are the royal arms, encircled with an inscribed Garter;
on the other side of the field, in front of the horse’s head, is a double rose ensigned
with a crown. The foreground is composed of large pebbles, with tufts of
vegetation, and between the horse’s legs is a lion standing, parallel with the
horse, with face turned left to the spectator and looking down on the ground.
Legend :
CAROLVS • II • DEI • GRATIA • MAGN^ • BRITANNIiE • FRANCIiE • ET
HIBERNIiE • REX • FIDEI DEFENSOR
One or two points of singularity may be noted. The hand holding the sceptre
is stretched out beyond the framework of the throne, and holds the sceptre exactly
upright; as a rule it is held somewhat slanting, and the hand is not usually so
far outstretched—indeed, it is more often turned inwards. The sword (in the
reverse) is held in a more than usually fighting attitude, indicating a genuine
slash rather than a formal salute or mere flourish ; indeed the whole figure strongly
suggests ‘ active service ’. The nature of the ground on which the horse treads
is also unusually detailed, with pebbles and tufts of vegetation; but the most
striking peculiarity of the seal is the lion beneath the horse, which occurs in no
other Great Seal. The first example of any animal in that position occurs in the
second seal of Henry VIII, in which a greyhound indicates the king’s descent
from the royal house of York; and this greyhound is repeated in the third seal
of Henry VIII, also in the seals of Edward VI, James I (first and second), Charles I
(first, second, third, and fourth), and reappears for the last time in the second
seal of Charles II. The lion is therefore a unique variation in the series.

NOTES AND NEWS
The manuscript books of the priory of St. Mary of Worcester have singularly
little to distinguish them, either in the way of binding or of press-
WoTcester from the books of other monastic libraries. It may therefore
MSS useful to point out that three MSSi in the Bodleian, namely
MSS. Bodley 633 and 868 and MS. Auct. F. inf. i. 3, all known to
be Worcester books, bear on the outside of their end cover a parchment label,
four to four and a half inches broad, on which is written in a heavy angular hand
of about 1400 a list of the contents of the MS. Similar labels written in the same
hand are found gummed down on the fly-leaves of MSS. Auct. F. i. 9 and 5. 16,
where they were doubtless placed when those volumes were rebound, and may be
taken as evidence that these also are Worcester books. Characteristics of the script
of the labels are the overhanging top of the g, the singular hair-strokes to the
contraction for -rum^ the terminal knobs to the cross-stroke of the contraction for
per^ the straight stem and slightly forked top of b and /, and the sloping stem of d.
Mr. C. H. Turner’s book on Early Worcester MSS. will be published by the
Clarendon Press in April next. ,H. H. E. C.
At the Bywater sale (December 2, 1915) the Library bought a small volume by
^ Franciscus Tissardus, printed at Paris by Egidius Gourmontius in
1508. A note in pencil at the end says ‘ First Hebrew Book printed
in France ... No other Hebr. pr. at Paris till 1516, except a few
lines ... in ... 15 II ’. About half the volume consists of ‘ secundum Hebreorum
traditionem Grammatica ’. The Hebrew words (with vowel points) seem to be
printed from blocks, made probably from the author’s own writing, but the effort
was evidently too great to be sustained, for in the latter part of the grammar the
conjugation of the verbs is given in Latin characters only. The next Hebrew work,

also printed by Gilles de Gourmont, was the book of Ruth, &c., in 1520, in a quite
common-place type.
In the English Historical Review^ xxii. (1907), p. 743, Mr. P. S. Allen published
a letter from Bruno Amorbach to his father, from which it appears that in 1507
Tissard had just come from Italy, and was lecturing on Greek in Paris. It must
have been during his residence at Paris that he studied Hebrew, and published
his grammar. He was evidently indebted to Jewish teachers, since he uses their
grammatical terms, and his alphabet is that of the French Jews, though so unskil-
fuUy copied that it presents a very strange appearance. Either he or his teachers
followed Moses and David Kimhi, for he takes pakad as his model verb, and trans¬
literates the third person of the future {haatid) as if cod.
Some of the earliest printing was in Hebrew. According to the Jewish
Encyclopaedia, about 100 dated incunabula are known, all produced in Italy,
Spain, or Portugal, none in Germany. Of these the Bodleian Library possesses 67,
being second only to the British Museum, which has 75. The earliest dated is
of the year 1475, but some undated works are perhaps earlier. The Library
also has a number of stray leaves, some beautiful and spme curious, several of
them belonging to unknown editions. The subject of early Hebrew printing has
been little studied, but it would well repay any one who would take it up seriously.
There is abundant material here to start with. A. E.C.
In view of the loss sustained by the Library at the Restoration by the sale of its’
First Folio of Shakespeare, not retrieved until 1906, and at a cost of
Advance- ^3,000, it may be worth while to reprint the following paragraph
Learning Macray’s Annals of the Bodleian (2nd ed., 1890, p. 35), especially
as it has accidentally escaped his index at p. 501, col. i, ad finem.
The passage also shows how Bacon must have welcomed the Bodleian privilege of
receiving a copy of every published book as an ‘ Advancement of Learning ’.
Where is now the volume to which reference is made ?
Bacon, on the publication in this year of his Advancement of Learning, sent a copy to
Bodley, with a letter, in which he said, ‘ You, having built an ark to save learning from
deluge, deserve propriety in any new instrument or engine whereby learning should be
improved or advanced.’ In the Catalogue printed in 1620 the book is entered, but in
that of 1674 h disappears, and there is only a copy which came from Selden’s library, and
which is still the only copy of the first edition. It is to be feared, therefore, that the author’s
donation copy was at some time parted with as a duplicate !

The account of the discovery of a nearly complete specimen of the first Great
Seal of Charles II given in the last number of the B. Q, R, has brought
To/ First 2 letter from the Rev. A. Fuller, of 7 Sydenham Hill, London, an-
Seal of nouncing that a complete specimen of the same seal has for the last
Charles 11 . years been in the collection of seals formed by him and by his son,
Mr. A. W. F. Fuller, by whom it was bought at an auction sale of
documents from the collection of Sir Edward Nicholas, held at Messrs. Sotheby’s
on June 10, 1909. Photographs of Mr. Fuller’s seal, received as this part is going
to press, show it to be complete, though less sharply impressed than the Bodleian
specimen and consequently less clear in some of its detail. The king’s face
on the obverse appears on Mr. Fuller’s seal as turned to his right. He is bare¬
headed, and over his head and supported by the cherubs is a shield containing
the Royal Arms of England, France, Scotland, and Ireland. The photographs
also show that the legend of the reverse terminates with the date 1648, a feature
blurred on the Bodleian seal, and so fix the execution of the seal to the months of
February or March, 1648-9. Sir W. H. St. John Hope has kindly pointed out
that on the obverse the king does not wear the mantle of the Garter but is in
his Parliament robes, and that the description given in the last number and
similar descriptions in Wyon’s Great Seals of England require to be corrected
accordingly. He further suggests that the rose on the reverse is single, not double :
unfortunately the Bodleian impression is slightly blurred at this point.
H. H. E. C.
Lt. Fuller’s seal is attached to Letters Patent, bearing the King’s own Sign
Manual at the head of it, appointing the then Duke of Buckingham to be the
King’s Captain-General for raising troops in the Eastern and South-eastern counties
of England in support of the royal cause. It is dated at Breda, May 20, 1650
(a few days before Charles started for Scotland), and is in English, written in a formal
court-hand on parchment. Mr. Fuller gives the following description of the
portion which is missing in the Bodleian impression: ‘ The Head of the King
with long flowing locks is slightly turned to the left, looking towards the Lion.
From the tops of the upright pillars of the throne a triple-ridged band bending
downwards in semicircular form passes behind the King’s Head and forms the
upper back of the throne. Above the Head is an escutcheon with the Royal Arms,
supported by two Cherubs floating in the folds of upturned curtains, over which,
reaching the inner line of Inscription, is a Canopy of small size (shaped like an

inverted Boat).’ From the photograph the back of the throne appears to be quite
straight, and to terminate in a rounded oval top, quite plain except for the ‘ triple-
ridged band ’ mentioned above, which forms the only ornamentation of the back
itself, besides the escutcheon which projects from the upper rim. The face is
badly crushed and unrecognisable, but the attitude of the head can be judged
from the hang of the flowing hair, the ends of which, resting on the shoulders, are
plainly distinguishable in both copies of the seal; on the whole the head appears
to be nearly full-face, but is ‘slightly turned to the left'* (i.e. the spectator’s
left, or the King’s right). J. G. W.
Another interesting point, to which Lt. A. W. F. Fuller draws attention in
a further letter, is that his seal ‘ is appended [to the document] by a cord of silk
ribbons coloured red, white, and blue ’. The British Museum fragment is attached
by ribbons of red and white only, and Lt. Fuller conjectures that this may be the
earliest instance of these three colours being used in conjunction. ‘ It is possible ’,
he adds, ‘ that the King may have adopted them as his colours—for a badge, &c.—
after the death of his father, and that they became the symbol of loyalty and
patriotism after the Restoration.’ The use of ribbon instead of twisted cord of
silk or wool is not at all common with English Great Seals, and it would be inter¬
esting to discover whether it was a more usual practice on the Continent. J. G. W,
A Journal of the Printing-Office at Strawberry hill near Twickenham in Middle¬
sex^ by Horace Walpole, which is preserved among the Walpoliana
Walpole s Waller Collection at Woodcote, Warwick, reveals the interesting
Authors which seems to have escaped the notice of the bibliographers,
that there were two issues of the Strawberry Hill edition of Walpole’s
Catalogue of the Royal and Noble Authors of England. Under the year 1758, the year
in which the book was published, the Journal records :
Jan. 27th. finished first volume of the Catalogue of Authors, except dedic.
preface and index.
30. began to print the second volume.
April nth. finished 50 copies. Mr. Muntz took off the copperplates, which
(being the Frontispiece, Fleuron, & coin of Q. Eliz.) were engraved by
Grignion. Half of the whole number of copies have a variation in the

NOTES AND NEWS 207
second page of the Dedication, which was corrected after part were
printed off.
April 13th. 50 more copies finished.
15. the whole 300 finished.
Walpole does not specify what the ‘ variation ’ was, but on investigation it proves to
consist in the substitution in the later copies of to have a bias for to be partial in
the opening sentence of the Dedication. The reason for the alteration is not
far to seek. It was doubtless made in order to get rid of the jingle of * partial ’ with •
the ‘ impartiality ’ which occurs immediately before and after the corrected phrase.
It is satisfactory to note that both issues are represented in the Bodleian (with
two copies), as well as in the British Museum (with three copies, two of the first
issue, one of the second). T.
Mr. F. A. Hyett, who has compiled and published (with the Rev. W. Bazeley)
The value ^ bibliography of Gloucestershire literature in three volumes, has
of * trash ’ P^^sented to the Public Library at Gloucester his collection of tracts,
broadsides, leaflets, election squibs and newspaper cuttings relating
to the county. In his letter of presentation dated October 22 last he writes an
apologia for these waifs and strays, from which the following are extracts :
Many years ago, when ransacking collections of Handbills and Broadsides in the
British Museum for references to Gloucestershire, I was impressed with the literary and
historic value that Time could impart to printed matter of this description. Some of
them threw curious sidelights on bygone days. Now and then their form or style indicated
the tastes : now and then their contents gave glimpses of the ways of life or mental attitudes
of our ancestors that had escaped the historian w'hose sources of information were more
solid literature.... For these reasons it occurred to me that I might be conferring a boon
on posterity if I preserved what most of my contemporaries would throw away.. . . Time
alone can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Few students would suspect that there is a list of palimpsest MSS. in the Bodleian
printed so long ago as 1782 in a German town. But an Index codicum
rescriptorum Bodleianorum occupies pp. 1-12 of Anecdota in the
Annales Literarii, edited by H. P. C. Henke and P. I. Bruns, vol. i.
(Helmstadt, 1782, 8°). Nine MSS. are mentioned, to which others
could now be added. The list, as Mr. H. IJ. E. Craster has pointed out, was
contributed by Dr. Robert Holmes, the editor of the Septuagint, who had done
work at Helmstadt.

Canon Oldfield, the vicar of Culham, besides giving invaluable voluntary help
in arranging and docketing the Archdeaconry records from Ayles-
^ioc^ bury, referred to at p. 82, has presented to the Library a goodly
Oxott manuscript entitled Clerus Dioc. Oxon., compiled by himself,
and containing an alphabetical index to the clergy whose Ordination,
Institution, Resignation, Licence, or Death is recorded in the Registers of the
Diocese of Oxford, from the foundation of the See in 1542 to the end of July 1908.
At the end is a list of Oxfordshire parishes with their successive incumbents.
The volume should be useful to many of our readers, and is placed on the reference
shelves, though it must be remembered that Berkshire was not part of the diocese
till 1836, nor Buckinghamshire till 1845. Among the facts which Canon Oldfield
notes are that the total number of ordinations recorded is 20,504 (Exorcists no.
Acolytes 157, Sub-Deacons 207, Deacons 11,168, Priests 8,862). The earliest double
Christian name is in 1692, but it is not common till after 1738. The first mention
of ordination under Letters Dimissory from another diocese occurs in 1767. The
first (assistant) curate, in our sense, is in 1745.
Local antiquaries will be glad to know that many British maps, plans, and views
which occur in Gough’s collections for a new edition of Camden’s
. Britannia, but have hitherto escaped notice, are now being entered
\i^s Index to Gough Prints and Drawings by Dr. W. P. Ellis,
whose researches in Oxford history are well knowm. The entries
cover every part of the British Isles. While on this subject, it may be worth
mentioning that all the copper-plates for Gough’s great work on British Sepulchral
Monuments (1786-96) are in the Bodleian, and could be used by permission for
the illustration of local histories.
Admirers of Walter Pater may like to know that an unsigned review by him of
Walter ^ volume of anonymous poems entitled Love in Idleness appeared in
Pater Oxford Magazine, \o\. i. (1883), at p. 144. A member of Pater’s
college was an editor of the Magazine and probably asked him to
aid the nascent periodical at its outset : and as this one volume has no index, the
article seems to have escaped notice. Pater, as is well known, did not review any
book which he could not praise, and has much to say in appreciation of the little
volume; but though he knew that the poems were not the work of one hand, he
does not attempt to distinguish the writers by style alone. 'I'he book is now believed

to be the work of three authors, H. C. Beeching, J. W. Mackail, and J. B. B.
Nichols.
It is truly remarkable that there is some evidence of Scholarships tenable by
n • ‘ founder’s kin ’ of Sir Thomas Bodley. What other possible explana-
Bodleian . , ,
Scholarships given of the following extract from a memorandum
written on November 22, 1854, by George Bruce Michell ? ‘ My
uncle the late Dr. Michell being Founder’s kin was allowed the Scholarship
, Bodleian Library Oxford during the time he was at College.’ From ShadweU’s
Registrum OrieUnse, vol. ii. (1902), p. 221, it appears that William Forord Michell
(D. D. 1810) matriculated from Oriel on October 16, 1783, and took his degree
in 1787. The connexion of Dr. Michell with Bodley was that Sir Thomas Bodley’s
sister,Prothasy, married Walter Bogan (</. 1591), whose great-great-great-grandson’s
daughter, Jane Taylor, married Lieut. Reynall Michell, R.N., of Totnes (J?. 1731).
Their eldest son. Dr. Michell, was born in 1765, their younger son, John Taylor
Michell, in 1770. G. B. Michell mentioned above was a son of J. T. Michell,
and out of a letter from his son, George Baily Michell, addressed to Oriel
College in 1903, the present mystery arises. Can any one solve it ? No one
of the name of Michell is known to have done any work, even temporary, at the
Bodleian.
Four ways of treating books or pamphlets are now employed at the Bodleian.
„ Nearly all the substantial volumes, and all books likely to be much
in binding bound in the usual way, with variations of material, colour
and style. But large-sized periodicals which are not likely to be much
called for are ‘ cased ’, that is, inserted unbound in a framework resembling a
volume, of which the back and lower edges are wood, the front open, and the sides
mill-board. This is filled without regard to the period covered : it may be a year’s
numbers, or more, or less: the facts are noted on the back. For smaller sizes of
periodicals and for pamphlets these cases are not found to be much cheaper than
binding, and this class is ‘ boxed ’, i.e. placed loose in cardboard boxes of five or
six standard sizes, costing about ^d. each on the average : in this matter we have
borrowed the idea from Cambridge. Lastly, the British Museum has shown us
a system of ‘ self-binding ’, in which two cardboard sides, and a flexible back of
cloth are adapted to receive one, or at most two pamphlets, by having attached
to the back two gummed guards. You open the cover, moisten the gummed

surfaces, place the pamphlet or two pamphlets between the gummed surfaces,
close the cover, and lay it aside till dry. The advantage of doing this within the
walls of the library is obvious, and the system may be recommended to private
collectors who wish to reduce their binding bills. The cloth can be so chosen as
to allow a written title on the back.
In the Cornhill Magazine for December 1915, Mr. Thomas F. Plowman, once
Bodleian ^ Bodleian Assistant, and lately Mayor of Bath, gives a delightful
, • series of Oxford reminiscences under the title ‘ From the Land of
stones.
Letters ’. His father was a bookseller, publisher, and journalist in
that Land, and he has interesting stories to tell of Thackeray, Dickens, Charles
Reade, and Ruskin at Oxford. He has also something to say of the Bodleian in
connexion with its copy of the Pickwick Papers in a Russian translation, found in
the Redan during the Crimean War, and with a lively ‘ scrap ’ at the Camera, in
which Reade took a prominent part. The following fact, which is within his
knowledge, he probably considered too local to print. In the days when two long
dark galleries ran the whole length of Duke Humphrey’s Library above the windows,
there was in one of their obscurest corners a kind of open oubliette where a winding
staircase came up. A new assistant was invariably commissioned to fetch a goodly
pile of volumes from a part of the gallery which would necessitate his passing this
corner on his return with the books. Beneath this spot the rest of the assistants
used silently to gather, the sole subject of speculation being, which would first
arrive at the foot of the stairs, the books or the boy. It was an even chance. They
never arrived in proper conjunction.
Among our late benefactions is a welcome gift of 100 from Mr. G. Baskervillc,
Obiter Keble, Chicheley Lecturer in Foreign History; Chinese printed
scripta Books from Mrs. Bullock; collotypes of Dunbar family charters from
Lady Dunbar ; a large number of American, colonial, and other books
from Viscount Bryce, and some lexicographical works from the collection of
Dr. W. C. Minor, now in America, whose interview with Sir James Murray was
the subject of a remarkable article in the Strand Magazine for August last. — The
Staff Manual for 1916 is a much reduced volume, for the sake of economy ; some
necessary parts have been brought up to date, but the rest are Addenda and

I. BODLEIAN CATALOGUES OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY
1605
* Catalogus librorum bibliothecae publicae quam vir ornatissimus Thomas Bodleius Eques Auratus in
Academia Oxoniensi nuper instituit; continet autem Libros Alphabetice dispositos secundum quatuor
Facultates: Cum quadniplici elencho Expositonim S. Scripturae, Arisiotelis, luris vtriusque& Principum
Medicinae, ad vsum Almae Academia: Oxoniensis, Auctore 'Fhoma James Ibidem Bibliothecario.’
Such is the title of the first Bodleian Catalogue of manuscripts and printed books, printed at
Oxford by Joseph Barnes in 1605. It is, as we should say, a shelf-list with an index of authors*
names, rather than a catalogue.. The arrangement of the books can be best understood by
reference to the page which is reproduced. This page represents primarily a shelf of folio
books of the Faculty of Arts having authors whose names begin with the letter D. At the time
when the catalogue was issued there were eleven books on that shelf. The unnumbered
entries marked • are the quartos and octavos, which, not being chained, could only be obtained
from the Librarian, and were kept at the East End of the Library. The entries marked
indicate books bound with others: for instance, C. Dibuadius in Geom. EucL 1603 is to be found
in W. 1.10 Art, the first item in which was loan. A Wower de polymathia tractatio. Dr. James
experienced the difficulty of most librarians who publish catalogues of growing libraries. Books
continued to come in such numbers that one-third of his Catalogue is Appendix. How severely
the catalogue taxed the typographical resources of Joseph Barnes may be seen in the extra¬
ordinary diversity of type used for capital letters. On p. 312 it is clear that capital D in italic
type failed at 1 . 9 from the bottom. Occasionally Barnes seemed to have used odd type in
order to economize space as in 1 . 12 from the bottom, where by using a very small D and G he
just managed to save one line.
When the catalogue was published the Library contained nearly 6,000 volumes, and Bodley
wrote to James that
‘ The general Conceit, as well of oilier Nations, as of our own at home, of the Library-store, is so
great, that they imagine in a manner, there is nothing wanting in it *.
In the Arts section which embraced Languages, Literature, History, Geography, in fact all
books which did not fall under the divisions Theology, Jurisprudence, and Medicine, there are
only thirty-six w^orks in English, and of these only three can be classed as English literature—
Chaucer’s Works (1561), Lydgate’s Fall of Princes (1554), and Puttenham’s English poesie (1589).
The expression ‘ nothing wanting in it ’ is perhaps less the conceit of the Nations than of
that Republic of Letters to which James offered his first catalogue, ‘ opus . . . faustum ct foelix ’
as he called it. It is a lamentable fact, and a commonplace of the schools, that vernacular literature
was contemptuously view ed by most scholars of that age. The lingua franca was still Latin,
which would alone serve for such as desired to address themselves to posterity. ‘ I send your

Highness \ wrote Bacon, ‘ my book of ‘‘ Advancement of Learning ” translated into Latin ... It
is a book I think will live, and be a citizen of the World, as English books are not a statement
more uncompromisingly expressed in Bacon’s other dictum that ‘ these modern languages
will at one time or another play the bankrupt with books And doubtless to Bacon’s friend.
Sir Thomas Bodley, w^ho certainly worked for posterity, this was the only reasonable attitude.
The prestige of the Library was jealously guarded by its Founder, and one may well suppose
that if such influential friends as Sir Francis Bacon, Dr. Tobie Matthew, Sir John Fortescue,
and Sir Henry Savile thought that Bodley was desirous of collecting and preserving plays and
the popular literature of the day their powerful aid would have been withdrawn.
Few stage-plays and very little popular contemporary literature could have entered Bodley’s
Librarj” before i6io, but when in that year an agreement was made with the Stationers’ Com-
.pany by which the Library received a copy of every book registered by its members, such books
arrived in considerable numbers. The agreement had been suggested by James, who was in
some respects more far-sighted than his master. So when in i6io the plays, pamphlets,
corantos, and stories poured in, James received and bound them, but did not necessarily enter
them in his Catalogue. It is to be feared, however, that in some cases their exclusion from
the Catalogue led in one way or another to their ultimate loss.
It is well to emphasize these facts because one of the most striking things about the first and
second Bodleian Catalogues is that they are as remarkable for what they do not contain as for
what they do. Although some of the greatest works of the English drama were published
between 1600 and 1620, the only plays by contemporary writers in the Catalogues are Daborne’s
Christian turned Jurk and Hey wood’s Four prentises of London,
1620
The second Bodleian Catalogue received an ambitious title :—
* Catalogus vnivcrsalis librorum in bibliotheca Bodleiana omnium Libroriim, Linguarum, & Scientiarum
gencre refertissima, sic compositus; Vt Non solum Publicis per Europam Vnlvcrsam Bibliothecis, sed
etiam Privatis Musaeis, aliisque ad Catalogum Librorum conficiendum vsui esse possit. Accessit Appendix
Librorum, qui vel ex munificentia aliorum, vel ex censibus Bibliothecae recens allati sunt, Auctore Thoma
James S. Th. Doctore,’
James, who had already resigned when the Catalogue was published, enlarges in his Preface
on a variety of themes. He was a militant Protestant, and in offering some kind of veiled
apology for the number of Theological MSS. and the many editions of authors’ works in the
Library, especially in Theology, explains that they will all help to confound the Romanists.
As the title-page states, the Catalogue was offered to the Public Libraries of Europe and to
private collectors as that of a representative collection. James advises collectors always to
arrange their books in three sizes, and then to number them consecutively from East to West
(doubtless having Duke Humfrey’s Library in his mind), entering the numbers of the books
in the margin of his Catalogue. Having reminded his readers that it was a matter of no small
moment that a Library containing 16,000 volumes should be open for six hours daily, except
on Sundays and Festivals, he proceeds to offer some general advice to students. He strongly
dissuades scholars from taking notes on loose sheets of paper, recommends brief entries in

Common Place books, and insists on adequate indexing; he urges the use of interleaved Bibles
in which references to commentators on particular verses can be entered, and calls attention to
the special subject-lists which he had compiled for use in the Library. Although a Latinist he
saw clearly enough the value of modern languages, and advised students to devote a few hours
every day to the study of French, Italian, and Spanish. James was born in the sevcntecntli
year of Elizabeth, and, like a true Elizabethan, was curious in the World’s broadening horizons.
When enumerating some of the languages represented in the Library—Chinese, Brazilian,
Peruvian, Arabic, Aethiopic, and Mexican—he declares that these languages will in the future
be of great service owing to England’s ever-increasing trade beyond the seas.
As every reader admitted to the Library had to purchase a Catalogue it may be conjectured
that copies are by no means rare. In a small vellum book preserved in the Library are recorded
the presentations and sales of the 1620 Catalogue to patrons, readers, booksellers, and the
‘ stranger courant ’. Between August 21, 1620, and November 9, 1622, no fewer than 558
copies were sold or given away. The price w^as 2 s, 8rf. to private persons, and 2 s. 6d. to book¬
sellers.
As regards the contents of the Catalogue there is, of course, an almost entire lack of plays,
but ‘ play-books ’ were beginning to creep into the Bodleian Catalogue there were for instance,
The secrets of angling and The art of juglingy and occasionally less edifying literature like The
scourge of Venus^ or the Wanton Lady, At least one Library took James’s Catalogue as its model.
The catalogue of books in the library of Sion College, published in 1650, is so closely based on
its forerunner that even the type is imitated.
1635
In 1635 appeared
‘ Appendix ad Catalogum librorum in Bibliotheca Bodleiana, qui prodiit Anno Domini 1620. Editio
secunda. Recognita, & Authoribus plus minus CID CIO CIO locupleiaia.’
This Appendix was compiled by John Rous who retained all the chief features of the 1620
Catalogue. The censorship as regards plays seems to have been relaxed, so that we find works
by Beaumont, Dekker, Heywood, Massinger, Rowley, Shakespeare, and Shirley in the Appendix,
but Shakespeare is only represented by the First Folio, and the remaining six dramatists by only
ten plays.
1674
Thirty-nine years later, in 1674, appeared ‘ Catalogus impressorum librorum Bibliothecae
Bodleianac . . . Opera Thomae Hyde ’, which the author claimed to be the most extensive
Catalogue up to that time published. Hyde’s preface is very different in tone from that of
James. I'he solicitude of the Librarian for the Reader is entirely lacking : in its place there are
bitter remarks about the cataloguer’s lot, the physical discomfort of working in the library
during the winter, the anticipated two years of drudgery which lengthened to nine, the con¬
temptuous attitude of the average man to bibliography, and the mental torture involved in

unravelling the tangle of authors’ names. Having uttered these plaints Hyde gives a fairly
complete set of rules which guided him in the compilation of the Catalogue. In 1674 ^ higher
standard of accuracy was demanded than in the days when James could catalogue Chaucer’s
Works as Galfredi Chauceri Opera Angliciy or Rous a collection of separate Marprelate tracts
as ^ All or most of his works and Hyde displays some bibliographical sense when he cautions his
readers that in those entries, especially in modern languages, which have inelegant titles, the
fault is to be attributed to the authors and not to himself, who endeavoured to set down the
titles as the authors wrote them. Evidently in academic circles there still lingered some slight
prejudice against ‘modern languages’.
By 1674 Bodleian was rapidly becoming a storehouse of national literature, the principle
of excluding plays having long fallen into desuetude. Nevertheless, very few plays are to be
found in the Catalogue, though one notes with pleasure that in 1653 the Library secured the
first edition of Urquhart’s translation of Rabelais, although it failed to secure Walton’s Complete
Angler published in the same year. Tt is also significant that in the contiguous entries of
Jeremy Taylor and John Taylor, the Water Poet, the former is represented by nine works, the
latter by seventeen.
The three Bodleian Catalogues of the seventeenth century have more than a local interest.
Each was in its own way a bibliographical pioneer. The Catalogue of 1605 was the earliest
general catalogue of any European public library, that of 1620 was the first general Library
Catalogue to be arranged in one alphabetical order, while Hyde claimed with justice to have
produced ‘ copiosissimum qui unquam prodiit librorum Catalogum, quique non tantum
(ut aliter fieri solet) nudos Titulos, sed & ubinam ipsi libri reperiendi sint praemonstrat
It may be of interest to summarize some of the general principles which guided the compilers
of these seventeenth-century catalogues. In the following summary A = the Catalogue of 1605,
B= 1620, C= 1674 ; and in A (for purposes of comparison) the Index of Authors is regarded
as the series of headings, and the body of the work as consisting of main entries or titles.
It should be remembered that the cataloguers were working without definite codes, feeling
their way towards a compromise between principles and utility. The tendency to group author¬
less books under large subject-headings in C is very noteworthy.
One of the first objects of a cataloguer is to bring out the author’s name prominently. This
is secured by italics or capitals: Ant. Cxo/it consilia (A): K\c. Hakluit(fi)\ Rich. Hakluyt (C).
Both B and C separate the heading from the title, but none of the three places the surname first.
When only the initials or pseudonym of an author occur, A and B regard the book as
anonymous (Gl’ Inganni Comedia [By N. S.]), but occasionally B takes note of the initials or
pseudonym (I. C. The ever-burning lamps: Poliphile. Discours du Songe de Poliphile); C aims
at recognizing them throughout, but sometimes retains both pseudonym and actual name as
separate headings (Claud. Salmasius and Simplicius Verinus),
In A and B persons generally known by a forename are not entered by it (Gilbertus Anglicus)^
but in C they are (Ioannes Anglicus).
In the case of anonyitious books A (in the Index) and B generally place them under the first
or some striking word in the title {^Treatise of the Sacrament: Discours of Riding). C chooses

sometimes the first word (Perswasion. Persuasion to such as suffer), but more often a subject¬
heading (Religion. Fortress of Fathers cone, purity of Religion). There is also in C a distinct ten¬
dency to use Latin subject-headings (Papa, & Vapist/e. A plea for Priests and Papists).
A and B contain both MSS. and printed books, which were not finally separated until
about 1655. In A anonymous MSS. are entered under the letter A in the various Faculties
{Anon, cui Pr. Hac scientia. MS.), but are not indexed. In B they are placed under the heading
^Anonymi Scriptores varii ’, and arranged in order of shelf-marks. A specimen entry is ‘ Tr. Anon.
Anglicis metris. Pr. 3^9 &0inf C 0 f 90 On ^ which is, of course, the Vision of Piers Plowman.
There is also a small number of printed books treated in the same manner {Anon, de virt. gr.
et lat. A ; Anonymi scriptores excusi— Anon. Christianus Philosophus de virtute B).
Books having more than one author are usually under all in B (Musick on the Virginals.
By Gibbons, Bull, and Byrde), but not in C. Translators are ignored in A and B, but have cross-
references in C. Biographies are not as a rule under their subjects. Collections are generally
under the first word in A and B {Augusta: Historise scriptores), in C under the subject (Roma.
Augustae seu Romanac historiae Scriptores). Dictionaries are entered under Lexicon in order
of language or subject, as well as under their authors, in C alone.
The general rule that the title-entry should be a transcript of the title-page is not adhered
to in any of the catalogues, although an effort is made in C to comply with it. E. g. :
Sander (Nicolas) A treatise of the Images of Christ, and of his Saints: and that it is vnlaufull to breake
them, and lauful to honour them. [Actual title.]
Nic. Sanderus. Of the honouring of Images. (B)
Nic. Sanderus. A Treatise cone. Images, that it is unlawfull to breake them, lawfull to honour
them. (C)
Books written in English are distinguished by being printed in black-letter in B.
As regards other particulars which generally follow the title-entry, e. g. edition, place and
date of publication, and size, all the catalogues ignore editions, but the place and date are given ;
the size, however, only occurs as part of the shelf-mark. Folio is not noted, being assumed
when ‘ 4® ’ or ‘ 8® ’ do not occur. Shelfmarks are given in all three catalogues.

II. “UPON HIS SACRED MAJESTIES INCOMPARABLE EIKi2N BA2IAIKH”
The following manuscript poem was found at the end of Encij; The pour-
traicture of his sacred maiesty . . . 1648 (Almack no. 12), recently purchased. It mentions
the Bodleian, and contains specimens of the conceits of the period. Miss Imogen Guiney
suggests the name of Dr. Henry King, of Christ Church, as a possible author.
Couldst thou before thy death have giv’n what we
Might ask. Thy Book had been the Legacy :
Thy Will can make but Heirs of Monarchy;
But this doth make each man an Heir of Thee.
Blest Soul! Thou art now mounted up on High,
Beyond our Reach, yet not above our Eye ;
Lo here Thy other-self : Thus thou canst be
In Heav’n and Earth, without ubiquity.
Like this thou hast no Picture ; so Divine,
Might any Image be adorM, ’twere Thine.
So curious is this Work, ^tis easUy known
’Twas drawn by no mans Pensil but Thine own.
None could expresse a King but Thou : We see,
Men cannot, Gods may limn a Deity.
The Stile betrayes a King, y* Art a Man,
The high Devotion speaks a Christian.
These meet in Charles alone ; but He, therc^s none
So fully All, as if He were but One :
How short of Thee is Balzack’s Prince ! He knew
Now how to think what thou knew’st how to do :
Thou art y® Copy for our Kings ; & He
Shall still be best, y^ frames Himself by Thee :
Thy Work’s a Practick Pattern for thy Son,
Who, having this shall need no Xenophon.
They y‘ would know thy parts, must read Thee : look
You’l find each Line a Page, each Page a Book ;
Each Comma is so full, each Colon good,
’Tis pity Death did put a Period.
Great Tully had been silenc’d amongst men.
Had but Thy Tongue been equall to thy Pen :
But this Defect doth prove Thy skill more choice.
That makes y® Eccho sweeter than the voice.
Our Bodley’s shelves will now be full; No man
Will want more Books, This one’s a Vatican ;
Yet ’tis but Charles contracted : since His fall,
Heav’n hath y® Volume, Earth y® Manual.

\Laudes maiorum]
Laudes ct merita maiorum et memoria tenere et contionibus palam pronuntiare nulla non
aetas hominum in sanctis habuit, nulla nisi suo periculo pravoque in posteros exemplo neglexit.
Quodsi nonnullis sapientium fides praebenda sit, hoc ipso fonte fere totam generis humani circa
deos immortales religionem vel saltern fabularum divinarum diversitatem nasci et profluere
credibile esse videatur. Quorum opinionem si quasi cribris iactatis probes, multa quidem vana
intercident somnia, restabit tamen in fundo aliquid solidi. Scilicet ii qui deos et heroas quos
colerent non nisi homines eximia virtute praeditos et hoc ipso immortalitatem consecutos esse
crederent, ut ipsi illorum exempla secuti eandem viam quamvis arduam ingrederentur, tarn
immenso tamque divino humanae virtutis praemio facile adducebantur. Et fortasse, quam
quod illi verbis dicebant, verius fuit quod volebant dicere. Nam id diis proprium esse quod
optimae praestantissimaeque naturae proprium ; earn optimam praestantissimamque esse
naturam quam universi homines inter se maxime laudandam esse consenserint ; illos igitur
homines qui, per labores, per adversa Fortunae, per inimicorum malorumque maledicta, se
innocentissime et iustissime gesserint, divino quodam et ineffabili iucunditatis praemio affectos,
illos votorum suorum quam maxime compotes esse ; has sententias quae religio, quae secta
sapientiae, quae tandem bonorum civium opinio denegare ausit ?
Et sapientes illi, quos diximus, inter homines primorum saeculorum agrestes silvestresque,
magis animi et corporis virtutibus quam luminibus ingenii illustres versati, verborum rusticorum
simplicitate philosophiae scrupulos spinasque explanare malebant. Ad deos post mortem per-
venisse si qui homines praeter alios fortes vel clari vel meritis et virtutibus egregii essent, cum
dicerent, hoc maxime auditores suos intellegere volebant, se ipsos et sui similes, si maiorum
suorum optimorum virtutes acquipararent, non solum immortali posterorum laude fructuros
sed alia etiam virtutis praemia adepturos esse, quae non amplius humanae notitiae paterent
quam quod divina essent.
\Qui vera laude digni sunt^
Reges, duces, imperatores; si quis practer ceteros clarus, si laudatus, si fama divitiisque
clatus ; hosne dicamus solos aut maxime tarn divinis dignos honoribus merito censeri ? Immo

arguit, si quis patriam, si posteros, si quoad potuerit humanum genus vita et moribus adiuvarit.
Quid enim melius, quid praestantius, quid divinae ipsi naturae convenientius quam et homines
amare et quos amet beneficiis prosequi ? Bene scilicet Delphorum principes gratias publicas iis
reddendas saxoque inciso memoriae aeternae tradendas putaverunt, qui meliorem reddidissent
humanam vitam, non iis qui plurimos hostes bello vicissent. Athenienses enim ideo publice
laudaverunt quod humanum genus a vita bestiarum simili ad mites mores eduxissent et omnibus
hominibus ad Eleusinios dtorum ritus admissis et inter se ilia tarn sancta societate coniunctis,
documentum toti orbi terrarum tradidissent, nihil omnino in rebus humanis tarn bonum
tamque divinum exsistere, quam hominum inter se (idem et auxilium mutuum. Quae beneficia
si quaeras quo modo illi in humanum genus contulerint, libris scriptis et bene servatis et in
posteros volgatis paene omnia perfecta esse invenies.
[Fundatoris Merita]
Quae si vere disputata sunt—et Delphorum summum concilium falsi quis accusabit ?—
quern virum maioris beneficii auctorem, quern posterorum pietate magis colendum, quern
elogiis magis extollendum illo pronuntiemus, cuius memoriam me hodie celebrare iussistis,
Aurato Equite Thoma Bodley ?
Cuius si minora merita silentio nunc fere omnes praetermittere solent, suffecisse tamen ilia
quae mediocrem hominem illustrem reddidissent nemo negabit. Vir probus doctus gravis, in
rebus divinis Helvetiorum sapientium auditor, Graecae linguae, turn parum inter litteratos
volgatae, et scribendae et loquendae peritus; philosophiae quam naturalem vocant in primis
diligens ; senatof idem, legatus ad Gallos Germanosque, denique in Hollandia contra regem
Hispanorum, virum callidissimum potentissimum crudelissimum vix aequo discrimine corn-
missus, publica officia tarn gravia tamque diversa cum laude maxima peregisset, honoribus
negotiisque tandem dimissis ‘ baculum suum ad limen bibliothecae Oxoniensis deposuit \ Et
certe maiore gloria, latiore in posteros beneficio, ultima vitae spatia privatus degebat, sciebatque
se degere.
[De excellentia litteraruniy praesertim Hebraicarum]
Quid enim maius, quid diuturnius beneficium esse potest, quam totius human! generis
hereditatem per omnes casus servatam integram posteris tradidisse ? Quae hereditas non in
divitiis nec in humanis corporibus invenienda est; cito enim utraque dissolvuntur. Non in
patriae suae finibus augendis : nam terra quidem certis finibus continetur; quod his datur
aliis subreptum est. Sed magis in illis sapientiae virtutisque antiquae thesauris, in illis memoriae
mortalis immortalibus custodiis, quas uno brevique nomine nos libros appellamus. Non vilium

NOTES AND NEWS
When these lines are published, the chief interest of the Library will be centred
, in the Shakespeare Exhibition, opened at 9 a.m. on Easter Monday
Exhibition ^ 4 )» intended to remain open for two or three months.
As soon as it was known that the British Museum found itself unable,
owing to special circumstances, to organize a display of Shakespeariana, the Curators
gave leave to the Librarian, as having under his charge the second largest and
most valuable Shakespearian Collection in the world, to prepare an Exhibition.
And to inaugurate it, a public meeting was arranged in the Divinity School at
3 p.m. on Easter Monday, at which the Vice-Chancellor, as Chairman of the
Board of Curators, consented to preside, and three distinguished speakers gave
their aid, namely. Sir Walter Raleigh, Professor of English Literature in the
University, Sir Sidney Lee, the foremost Shakespearian scholar of the day, and
Sir William Osier, President of the Bibliographical Society, and Regius Professor
of Medicine at Oxford. Of this meeting we hope to give some further account
in our next number.
The day of opening was chosen as the nearest to that of Shakespeare’s own death
on April 23 (161Q. The exhibits are arranged in fifteen classes:
Contents^ A. Early Works (Venus and Adonis and the rest), B. Quarto Plays,
Yhe Folio editions, D. Eighteenth century editions, E. Selected
Nineteenth century editions, F. Specimens of Translations, G.
Adaptations of the Plays, H. Musical settings of the Songs, I. Some of the Sources
of the Plays, J. Works ascribed to Shakespeare, but not received into the Canon,
K. Early references to him. Then follow more personal classes : L. Autographs,
genuine or forged, M. Lives of Shakespeare, N. Portraits, O. Miscellanea. Perhaps
the two gems of the Exhibition are the unique copy of the earliest edition of his
first work (the Venus and Adonis of 1593), and the original manuscript of the first

Life of him, by John Aubrey, written about 1681. It is still permissible to
maintain the authenticity of the supposed signature of Shakespeare on the title
of an Aldine edition of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
It is to be hoped that every visitor will carry away one of the two Catalogues
which have been prepared. The smaller one, price 6</., contains
Sir Sidney Lee’s Preface, and an account of each exhibit, with one

illustration. The quarto edition, price 5/., adds nine more illustra¬
tions, historical notes on the Bodleian, an Essay on Shakespeare and
Oxford by Archdeacon Hutton, and appendixes containing a transcript
of Aubrey’s Life and of other passages of special interest. The visitor enters the
Arts End by the usual door, and finds the Exhibition in the glass cases close to
him, arranged in the order of the Catalogues, which are on sale at the door by which
one enters and leaves. The Catalogues point out the exact spot where the original
Bodleian First Folio stood in the Library—now marked by a conspicuous white
cross in full view of the visitor.
Out of one hundred Quartos of Shakespeare’s Plays, issued between 1594 and 1700,
the Bodleian possesses as many as seventy, not counting eleven
duplicates. But, as the larger Catalogue points out, the growth of
Extent
^Collection series was at first very slow. No Shakespearian item occurs in
the Library Catalogues of 1605 and 1620 ; in 1635 one, in 1674 ^bree,
in 1738 six. At last, in 1821 came Lord Sunderlin’s gift of the library of his
deceased brother, Edmond Malone, well known as a Shakespearian scholar and
editor. The donation at once placed the Bodleian in the first rank in this kind,
and now statistics show that it possesses 3,927 separate works (texts 2,263, com¬
mentaries 1,664), contained in 5,153 volumes (texts 3,314, commentaries 1,839).
The exhibits number 138, and are chosen not for display of numbers, but for
their individual points of interest. All that is necessary for the success of the
Exhibition is the goodwill of our visitors, from whom suggestions of improvement
will be gratefully received.
The writer of the article on pp. 254-262, giving the results of a statistical survey

endeavour according to its friends, its means, and its opportunities, to make itself
valuable as well as extensive, and it is true also that the greater a library is the
more it attracts great gifts. Sir Thomas Bodley in his autobiography mentions
four kinds of aid in the endeavour above mentioned : i. Knowledge of tongues
and literature in the librarian, 2. Purse ability to go through vrith the charge,
3. Great store of honourable friends, 4. Special good leisure to follow such a work.
Quaint as these pithy sentences are, they are full of truth, and an essay might
be written on each of them. In any case, where an estimate of value is hardly
possible, a statement of the shelvage of a library is always within a librarian’s
power, and forms a very definite and intelligible ground of comparison, as is urged
on p. 255.
Thrice during March and April was Oxford warned of the possible approach of
. Zeppelins: thrice did such members of the Staff as could get through
alarms cordons in the streets gather in the Bodleian Quadrangle at
unearthly hours: and thrice was the alarm followed by—nothing.
The times of assembling and departing were anything between 11.30 p.m. and 4 a.m.
On the second occasion no fewer than thirty-three of the Staff assembled, and
thanks to Mr. P. S. Allen, one of the Curators (himself, with Mrs. Allen, present
on two occasions), each knew his place and prospective duties. Some of the
junior assistants failed to penetrate the patrols, but a courageous corps of ladies
of the Staff were uniformly successful in so doing. The most interesting position
was on the Tower, from which weird lights were occasionally visible. The garrison
was not wholly without comestibles, and there was on one staircase a concert
which made up in suppressed energy for what it lacked in continuity. It may be
remembered that an Oxford Quadrangle is in origin a military fort, and that it
is quite possible that the existence of a solid stone quadrangle at Merton in 1355
saved the University from extinction in the terrible riots of St. Scholastica in
that year.
The Library is rich in naval MSS., especially for the reigns of Charles II and
James II, as may be seen from the resume of ‘ Papers relating to the
MSS Navy in the Bodleian Library ’ given by Professor C. H. Firth in
the Mariner's Mirror^ August 1913 (vol. iii, p. 226). The Civil War
period was not, however, well represented. For this we only possessed four order-
books of the Parliamentary Navy Committee and a book of Navy estimates from

the Pepys Collection, and scattered letters from Nalson’s Collection among the
Tanner MSS. To these papers have now been added, by purchase, three manuscript
volumes that once belonged to the Ordnance Office. They contain registers of
all stores delivered out to ships of the Navy from March 1642-3 to February 1643-4,
and of all stores returned to the office from the Navy from September 1642 to
February 1648-9. In this connexion attention may be drawn to a note in Macray’s
Annals of the Bodleian Library (1890), p. 234, in which it is stated that the Library
possesses ships’ log-books of earlier date than any among the Admiralty records.
H. H. E, C.
Mr. C. J. Purnell, a former member of the Bodleian Staff, and the Japan Society
could have chosen no better time than the present for publishing the
AdamT Log-book of William Adams, a precursor, three hundred years ago,
of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance. The turning-point in Adams’s
adventurous career came in 1598, when he, being ‘ desirous to make a little experi¬
ence of the knowledge which God had given him ’, set sail from Holland with
a fleet of five vessels for the East Indies. Adams, after encountering many dangers
from storms, savages, and Spaniards, failed in his object, but succeeded on April 19,
1600, in bringing his own vessel safely to Japan, although but six of his crew were
able to stand on their feet. During his enforced sojDurn in Japan, Adams built for
lyeyasu, the Shogun, two ships; ‘ learned ’ his patron ‘ some points of geometry
and mathematics ’; and in 1609 sent his well-known letter ‘ To my unknown
friends and countrymen ’. Adams died on May 16, 1620, in great honour with
the Japanese : his tomb is still to be seen at Yokosuka, and in Tokyo ‘ Pilot Street ’
perpetuates his fame.
The Log-book, which had been in the Savile Collection certainly before 1697,
remained unidentified until 1905. It covers the years 1614-19, and is largely
concerned with two voyages to the Riu Kiu Islands. It is wholly in Adams’s
handwriting, and exhibits quaint examples of his orthography, the doubling of
letters being a marked characteristic—‘ Ittem Looss in theess forssayd part-
ticulars ’. This edition of the Log-book at last makes accessible the whole of
Adams’s known literary remains, and Mr. Purnell with much industry and care
has collected in an Appendix a number of illustrative documents from the India
Office Library, the Rijksarchief, and other sources. The book has a good index,
and is illustrated with reproductions of portion of two pages of the Log and
Adams’s fleet of five vessels as represented by De Bry. S, G.

An old
fraud.
In 1574 published in London A Direction for the Health of Magistrates and
Studentes ... written in Latin by Guilielmus GrataroluSy and Englished^
by T. N.y i. e. Thomas Newton. In 1602 was published in London
Naturall and artificiall directions for health ... By W illiam V aughan ...
Vaughan was an Oxford Master of Arts and dates his dedicatory epistle, in which
he explains the circumstances under which he wrote this book, April i, 1600.
The extraordinary thing is that the whole of the two texts of these two books
(signn. B-U®) is identical, and not only so, but are the same printing. Vaughan
must have appropriated not only the sheets of a ‘ remainder * but also the author¬
ship of it: just as Leonardo Bruni of Arezzo, having found a MS. of the De Bello
Gothico of Procopius, printed it as his own and gained much glory for the space of
some years, till another MS. of it turned up. But how was this fraud possible,
and why has it escaped the notice of bibliographers ? The Bodleian possesses
copies of both issues, and Mr. H. J. Bayliss, formerly on the Staff of the Library
and now employed on the New English Dictionary, pointed out the surprising
facts.
An Italian breviary of the fifteenth century, which was kindly deposited by
a private collector in the Library for a short time, and which was
Decorated contained in a curiously figured leather binding, brought to light
bindings ^ similar binding in the Ashmole Collection (MS. Ashmole 46).
Both bindings are of leather having a distinct metallic appearance, and
decorated with bold scrolls and with roundels of different sizes. The Bodleian
example, which has the gold placed directly upon the leather, is probably the
earlier. The binding of the breviary seems to have been first covered with
tinfoil, then treated with red and yellow lacquer in order to give the effect
of gold.
Leather decorated and treated in this manner was used for hangings and for
furniture. It was introduced from the East, and was apparently first manufactured
in Europe at Venice. The decoration of leather with gold dates from early times,
and Theophilus the Presbyter, who flourished in the tenth century, has left in his
Diversarum artium schedula a recipe for colouring tinfoil so as to make it look like
gold, which was presumably the process employed on the binding of the breviary.

We find that the Bodleian Oration of November 8, 1902, by S. G. Owen, M.A.,
Student of Christ Church, was printed in fuU in the Oxford Magazine^
vol. xxi, p. 80 (see p. 211). Mr. C. E. Sayle, of New College, now on
the Staff of the Cambridge University Library, kindly informs us
that in a C. U. L. copy of the Einoiv Ba<riXiictj (Almack no. 18) the verses printed
in our last number (p. 233) occur, wanting lines 2-4, 19-24, 27-32. Mr. Craster,
who contributed a note on Knox’s Ceylon at p. 116 of No. 5, finds that the MS.
was edited in 1911 by Mr. James Ryan.

The Annual Report of the Library for 1915 has been unfortunately delayed till
now, though it was fully ready by the end of last term. It registers
a most welcome change from a debit to a credit balance, and every
endeavour will be made to maintain this position, but the equilibrium
will not be stable till a few more years confirm it. Meanwhile the great generosity
of the University in not curtailing its grants to institutions is to be most gratefully
recorded.—A purchase of seventy-one volumes containing 486 Irish editions of
English plays, printed in 1725-1803, has been made, and is of considerable interest
not only for bibliography but especially for the local caste and modifications.—
Mr. Ananda Coomaraswamy has deposited in the Library for the present twenty-
four Rajput, Mughal, Persian, and Tibetan paintings of merit, partly the basis of
illustrations in his recent work published by the Clarendon Press, on Rajput
Paintings. Fourteen are on exhibition in the Picture Gallery, including one of
Krishna as the divine herdsman.—Communication between the resident Staff and
their brothers on active military service has been kept up, by interchange of letters
and by parcels which are sent every six weeks to all who are abroad. Miss Walpole
and Miss Pogson are kindly carrying on Miss Underhill’s part in this much-
appreciated work.—Mr. J. A. Packford, Minor Assistant, has joined the Queen’s
Own Oxfordshire Hussars as a trooper, Mr. S. C. Horton, Minor Assistant, has
obtained a Commission in the Army Service Corps, and Mr. R. A. Abrams,
Senior Assistant, has been promoted to a Captaincy.—The next number of the
Bodleian Quarterly Record will contain an account of the development of Shelf
Classification in the Bodleian by Mr. G. W. Wheeler, and the Accounts of the
Record from the beginning to December 31, 1915.

STATISTICAL SURVEY OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY,
WITH NOTES ON BOOK STANDARDS
BY BODLEY’S LIBRARIAN
The size of a Library
The size of any library is of general interest to the community in which it is placed, especially
when the institution is valuable enough to be a distinction to its district. It is of interest, not
because it enables a librarian to give some answer to the ever-green question—how many
books have you ?—but because it may be assumed that size has some relation to importance,
and that the librarian or his committee has always endeavoured to purchase the best books
that could be afforded. But the size is in many cases so difficult to ascertain, and the methods
of arriving at a result are so different, that it seems worth while to endeavour to obtain some
statistics, standards, ratios, and comparisons which may be of general value to all librarians.
There seems to have been hitherto no attempt to supply them on a large scale, or on
a system which can readily be standardized.
The Bodleian Library is especially suitable for this experiment, because during three centuries
of growth it has expanded on the whole normally, and without change of locality. It has had
a right to a copy of every British publication since i6io. Sir Thomas Bodley’s room is
sxWl furnished with most of the oldest books, and many of the other sections of the Library
contain books of a definite period and kind. A statistical survey of the entire institution

was therefore made between March 1913 and Februax7 i9i6. The date, of the survey may
he placed centrally as the middle of 1915. .
The objects kept in view have been (i) to ascertain the number of volumes ; (2) to obtain
ratios of folios, quartos, and octavos (on the whole and at various periods), counting all lesser
sizes as octavo, and setting off the smallest sizes against abnormal folios; (3) to measure the
shelvage; (4) to obtain the dimensions and weights of an average folio, quarto, and octavo;
and (5) to ascertain the relation of volumes to literary pieces. With respect to this last, it is
essential to any accurate estimate of the size of a library, to distinguish the number of volumes
as bound and standing on the shelves from the number of pieces or ‘ title-pages \ each title*
page indicating a separate literary piece. ♦ The results of this inquiry will be, it may be hoped,
of some use in standardizing calculations of size, in a field in which standards seem to be at
present not easily found*.
It may be stated at once that the most satisfactory common basis of calculation and com¬
parison, where actual counting cannot be undertaken, appears to be shelvage, distinguished
where possible into folio, quarto, and octavo divisions. ‘
Methods
No one can be expected to acquiesce in the results which follow, unless and until he is
satisfied that the methods of calculation are sound and sufficient. In some cases the sufficiency
is not all that could be desired with a view to finality, but the methods are believed to be
scientific.
1. Number of volumes. Two important sections were actually counted—the Old Reading
Room, and the First Floor of the Quadrangle. These two, and all other sections, were then
estimated by direct measurements of shelvage (folio, quarto, and octavo), in conjunction with
a large number of countings of the actual number of volumes in a normal space of three feet
of each size—that is, a space of three feet which appeared to be typical of the room in which
the work was proceeding. Several hundred such spaces were counted at pretty regular intervals.
In the two sections which were counted as well as measured, the result of the counting was
rather higher than the estimate, so that the number of volumes given below is not likely to be
exaggerated. Unoccupied shelvage has been measured, but does not in any way enter into the
following calculations.
2. Ratio of sizes. In every case the number of foot-runs of folio, quarto, and octavo sizes
was separately noted. By this means the decay of the folio and the growth of the octavo can
be readily traced by comparing the contents of rooms containing books of early or late date.
• We soon get into deep water even over this apparently simple matter. In this article (a) volumes
mean books as they stand on the shelves; (fr) pieces^ separate works or parts, usually with a separate
title-page; (r) items^ all possible separate literary entities, including broadsides, cards, fly-sheets, &c. Thus
50 Civil War tracts bound in one volume, with 20 broadsides at end, would count as (^) i volume;
(b) 50 pieces; (r) 70 items. And a dictionary in 20 volumes would count as 20 volumes, pieces, and items,
though one tooth and in a certain sense ont book.' * A library of ten thousand books* is an indeterminate
expression.

3. Shelvage. The exteat of shelving has been measured directly by the method mentioned
above under i. It may be noted that the perpendicularity of bookcase divisions often makes
measurement of shelving an easy matter.
4. Dimensions and weights. Folios are throughout taken to mean volumes over 12 in. in
height; abnormal folios are over 15 in. Quartos are from 9 to 12 in. in height. Octavos are
less than 9 in., and abnormally less than 7 in. To ascertain the average height of each class,
a large number taken at random from normal shelves were measured. Weights were ascertained
in the same way, and also by weighing the contents of various * copyright ’ boxes as soon as
they had been divided into their three size divisions, folio, quarto, and octavo. These two sets
of averages were obtained in 1912, when the Underground Bookstore was about to be used,
but are not to be regarded as final.
5. The ratio of volumes to separate pieces was evolved from two independent calculations
based on the number of slips pasted in the two copies of the General Catalogue of Printed
Books. The investigations were made by the Catalogue Revision Staff off the Bodleian copy,
and by Mr. Wheeler off the Camera copy. In each case the number of slips was estimated
from a very large number of chance pages, and allowances were made for slips with double
headings or additional entries on a slip, and for cross-references. The number of periodicals
in more than one volume and the number of slips referring to part (only) of volumes were
carefully considered. The result is again not final, but is the best approximation which could
be made.
Sections of the Library
For the purpose of this survey the Library is regarded as falling into ten sections :—
A. The Old Reading Room (Duke Humphrey + Arts End + Selden End), containing the
ordinary accessions of Printed Books from 1602 to 1823. These general descriptions
of the kind of books in each section cannot be made with strict accuracy.
B. The Upper Reading Room and Picture Gallery, containing a large number of Reference
Periodicals, and all Bibliography. (Quadrangle, 2nd floor.)
C. The First Floor of the Quadrangle, which comprises the great bulk of the Manuscripts,
Incunabula, Topography, special Collections of large size, and the Oriental books.
D. The Ground Floor of the Quadrangle (containing Law, Music, Foreign Periodicals, Maps,
and old Miscellanea).
E. The Underground Bookstore (modern books of the less used type).
F. The Camera Basement (the bulk of the modern books of current interest).
G. The Camera Reading Room (select modern books).
E-G contain the books acquired from 1883 to the present time.
H. The Sheldonian Basement (modern newspapers and directories).
I . The Old Ashmolean Basement (containing in the small room the * Year-books *, i.e the
octavo accessions of 1824-50, and in the large room accessions of 1850-82).
J. The New Schools Basement (novels, directories, and old magazines).

258 BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
Some results
[From this tabic several interesting results emerge, some of w^hich, stated in general terms,
are as follows ;—
(1) In a large library of books old and new (A-J), the folios, quartos, and octavos are in the
proportion 1:2:3, volumes make up a foot-run.
(2) In a large library of old books (A: in this case books printed before 1824), the folios,
quartos, and octavos are in the proportion i : l : 2 (but in books printed before 1652,
see App. B, 3 : 2: 5, and at an earlier period (1604) 9:2:5), and 7^ volumes make up
a foot-run.
(3) In a large library of modern books, printed between 1883 and 1915 (H-J), the folios,
quartos, and octavos are in the proportion 1:5:9, and ii^ volumes make up
a foot-run.
(4) A large collection of MSS. (C) alters the proportion of folios, quartos, and octavos to
something like 9:10: 6^. This shrinkage in octavos (when MSS. and old books
• are in question) accounts for the fact that the proportion of the three sizes in the
entire older part of the Bodleian (A-D) is roughly 2:3:2.
(5) The Newspapers and Directories in the Sheldonian Basement (£) give the bizarre pro¬
portion of 18:4:5. The quartos are very thick volumes as bound. A department
of this kind will modify any average statistics.
From actual measurements of pieces received under the Copyright Act at the present time,
the proportion of folios, quartos, and octavos appears to be 3 : ii : 86, out of 100 pieces, some
of which are unbound pamphlets, while 7 folios, 10 quartos, and 12 octavos compose foot-runs,
if the books are bound.
Dimensions and weight of average books
Folios are taken to be books over 12 in. high.
Quartos are in height between 9 and 12 in.

Number of separate pieces in the Library
The fairest but not the easiest test of the size of a library is probably the number of pieces.
A calculation has been made from the Camera Catalogue as follows :—
There are 1,179 volumes of the catalogue with about 190 leaves each = 224,010 leaves in all.
Each leaf contains on the average 8^ slips, or entries. The total number of entries is
therefore 1,960,000—a result in general agreement with the calculations from the Bodley
Catalogue.
From this, one would deduct on each leaf i| entries for second-heading slips, f for cross-
references, and J for entries derived from ‘ breaking up * periodicals and sets: in all about
out of the 8} entries. But against this may be set about an equal number derived from
the vast number of periodicals, sets, magazines, and works in more than one volume (in all
which cases there are many additional separate pieces).
The number of pieces may therefore be taken as about 1,960,000. To this must be added
the music titles not in the General Catalogue, which may be reckoned as 100,000 (out of
160,000 in all; leaving 60,000 for music pieces of one leaf only, not here counted), making
a total of printed pieces 2,060,000. Separate numbers of newspapers, fly-sheets, and notices
are not taken into account at all.
A calculation of a tentative kind may even be made of the ‘ items ’ (volumes, ‘ title-pages ’,
broadsides, cards, fly-sheets, and the like), by noting that the relation of items to volumes
from 1885 to 1913 is known to be not less than 47 to i. This proportion is derived from the
elaborate statistics in the annual reports of the Library, compared with the estimated annual
increment in terms of bound volumes, in certain special reports to the Curators. The calcu-
• «
lation is of this kind :—
The foregoing table of volumes shows that the modern volumes of 1883 to 1915 may be
counted as 321,000, which multiplied by 4^ gives 1,444,500 as the total of items obtained in
those years. If we take each volume of the older books as involving only one item besides
itself, we have to add (728,206x2=) 1,456,412, producing a total of over 2,900,000, or say
3,000,000.
The proportions, therefore, of volumes, pieces, and items appear to be i : 2 : 3, and in the
Bodleian at the present time 1,000,000, 2,000,000, and 3,000,000.
The annual additions at present appear to be about 20,000 volumes in ordinary years.
The total number of printed books issued from the invention of printing to the present
time has been computed to be about 11,650,000, of which about 40,000 are incunabula printed
before 1501, and about 8,700,000 have been printed since l8oo (see Publishers' Circular^ March 4,
1916, p. 205). F. Madan.
Special acknowledgement of eifleient help is due to Mr. G. W. Wheeler, and, in counting
volumes and measuring shelvage, to the following members of the Extra Staff:—Mr. James,
Mr. Wilsher, Mr. Trotman, and Mr. Dubber.

At this time there were in tho Archives 45 MSS. and 4 printed books. The total of volumes
was therefore 5*660, of which 411 were MSS.
The volumes were divided in accordance with the four Faculties of the University, i.e. the
ground faculty of Arts, and the three superior faculties of Law, Medicine, and Theology, in
ascending order of dignity. Arts included philosophy (if not Christian), history^ and miscd*
lanies. The immense preponderance of folios will be noted, and of Theology.

of which 8,855 were in Duke Humphrey.
The Archives and Librarians* studies in Duke Humphrey contained 394 volumes, of wrhich
about 200 were MSS., and there were 368 volumes over the books at the Arts End. The totals
therefore are:—
In Duke Humphrey 9,249 (of which 200 were MSS.)
In the Arts End 4,387 (all printed books)
In the Selden End 2,339 MSS.)
15,975 (i.e. 13,436 printed books and 2,539 MSS.)
These figures represent the volumes referenced on the shelves, but there were doubtless
many remaining uncatalogued, for it is known that the number of MSS. in 1652 was at least
2,950, and the preface to the 1635 catalogue indicates that there were even then about 19,000
volumes in the Library. A few, however, may have disappeared during the Civil War.
At any rate, the proportions of each subject-division may be compared with those of 1604.
The only subject which has not doubled its size is Medicine, while Theology has still increased
more rapidly than its rival. Arts. The preponderance of folios is already on the decline, though
its vogue lasted for sixty years longer ; quartos and octavos are increasing in proportion, the
latter more than'the former.
(iii) Proportions of Subjects of Printed Books in February, 1883
These are calculated from measurements of catalogue slips, and are only approximate. The
classes are placed in an order corresponding, as far as may be, with the old Faculties :—
Theology . . . .
Medicine and Natural History
Law.

Law one-fourteenth.

The Library of Congress, Washington, the New York Public Library, and the Boston Public
Library were stated to contain 1,793,158, 1,919,982, and 987,268 books respectively, but the
system of counting is not clear. For instance, the Library of Congress appears to receive two
copies of every copyright book, and to count these and each separate map, print, and piece
of music. In fact, until we know the basis of calculation, it is difficult to deal with any
estimate. The present writer indulges in a hope that Librarians, whether in the British
Isles, or in Europe, or across the Atlantic, will endeavour to standardize their calculations
(preferably by shelvage, to begin with), and give them in terms of volumes, pieces and items,
and (if possible) also of sizes.

NOTES AND NEWS
The Shakespeare Exhibition, which was opened on Monday, April 24, will not
close till 5 p.m. on Monday, July 31. The accounts of it in the
Shakespeare press and the reviews of the Quarto Catalogue have been very
Exhibition, favourable, and of the latter more than 300 copies have been sold at
5/. each, as well as over 800 of the smaller issue at 6 d.^ exclusive of
gifts and exchanges. Both have reached a second (corrected) issue. The meeting
held on the opening day in the Divinity School was attended by about five hundred
persons, and the room was full. The three chief speeches were very different in
subject and treatment, but all appropriate. They were so fully reported in the
Oxford Times of April 29 and the Oxford Chronicle of April 28 that it need only
here be said that Sir Walter Raleigh reminded us that Shakespeare was anything
but an Oxford man, and that the relation of Universities to Poets was very much
the relation of the ancient Egyptians to cats : the latter w'ere honoured indeed,
but only when dead. Shakespeare’s real monument w'as the ubiquity of his books,
and the Bodleian collection a sufficient reason for the Exhibition. Sir Sidney Lee
spoke of the literary history of Shakespeare’s text, and stated that at the bicen¬
tenary in 1816 a Mr. Dovaston of Christ Church considered it a fitting occasion
to propose legislation which should forbid any sort of annotation, elucidation,
comment, or gloss on the text. He paid a high tribute to the Malone Collection
in the Bodleian and pleaded the value of bibliographical study of Shakespeare’s
works. Sir William Osier drew in outline a striking comparison between the
Transmitter of Literature (represented by Robert Burton), the Transmuter (as
Bacon), and the Creator (as Shakespeare). This speech has been privately printed
by the author, and is well deserving of perusal.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
So many of Robert Copland’s productions have survived in unique copies that
, a note may usefully be given of a fragment of one of them once in
Waste Library. Among the books bequeathed by Robert Burton.
author of the Anatomy of Alelaricholy, in 1640, was a copy of a volume
of Sunday Sermons, called Dormi Secure, printed at Lyon in 1535, which received,
and has ever since retained, the shelf-mark 8° S. 219. Th. Dr. Gerard Langbaine,
Provost of Queen’s College, saw the volume shortly after it came to the Library
and has recorded in one of his note-books (MS. Langbaine 8, p. 148) : ‘ In the
first & last waist leaves added by the bookbinder is to be seene some part of a book
entitled The seven sorow'es that women have whan theyr husbandes be deed,
compyled by Robert Coplande.’ Unfortunately the volume was sent to be re¬
bound about the middle of the last century and no longer contains these fragments
of early English printing. Copland’s poem escaped the notice of bibliographers
until 1887, when a copy recently acquired by the British Museum was noted by
Mr. Carew Hazlitt in his Bibliographical Collections, and by Mr. H. R. 'I'edder
in the Dictionary of National Biography : it has been recently rotographed for
the Bodleian. Mr. E. Gordon Duff informs us that no other copy is known to
him. The work was printed by William Copland about 1553-68, but bears no date.
H. H. E. C.
Th e recently-issued volume of Archaeologia (vol. Ixvi, 1914-15) contains an intercst-
ing paper by Mr. Lawrence Weaver, F.S.A., on ‘ The complete
Christopher building accounts of the City churches (parochial) designed by
Wren‘'s Sir Christopher Wren’. These accounts, which arc found in three
building stout volumes received by the Library in 1754 ^mong the Rawlinson
accounts. ^ 387-9), and for which the Bishop paid the
extraordinarily low price of 7 guineas, are the detailed record of the payments
made in connexion with the rebuilding of most of the London churches and
certain temporary ‘ tabernacles ’ after the great Fire, under Sir Christopher Wren’s
direction, between 1671 and 1687. The paper contains a careful description of
the accounts, and is followed by appendices which provide ample material for
research into the various phases of the seventeenth-century architect’s, and more
particularly Wren’s, work, besides reliable information on the building contracts
and customs of his day, and the relative value of building material and labour.
His care for his subordinates is showm in an entry of 1671 recording a payment
of £i made by his orders to a ‘ poor man ’ who ‘ br(;ke his leg at the vvorke at Bow ’.

It is' interesting to recall that it was under Wren’s direction that the south wall
of Duke Humfrey’s Library (now the Old Reading Room) was repaired and
strengthened at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and that correspondence
and other manuscript material relating to his work here and elsewhere are
preserved among our manuscript collections. R. H. H.
More than twenty years ago the late Mr. T. W. Jackson, Senior Fellow of Worcester
College and Curator of the Bodleian, bought a large collection of
% t Ly ^ A* ^ ^ ^
letters and papers written by Nonjurors between 1685 .and 1736,
Papers^^ bound in twenty volumes. The letters are now recognized to be the
correspondence received by Dr. Thomas Brett and his homonymous
son. The controversy between Usagers and Non-Usagers and the attempted
rapprochement with the Greek Church are w’ell represented. Moreover Dr. Brett,
being of a conciliatory nature, enjoyed the confidence of all sections of the Non¬
jurors. The size of the collection deterred Mr. Jackson from making use of the
letters, or even performing the primary duty of indexing their writers. At his
death in 1914 they were sold to Mr. Chaundy, an Oxford bookseller, who recently
received an offer of £100 from two American Libraries, which (it is said) wished to
break up the collection and sell the less interesting part as autographs! Owing
entirely to the strenuous exertions of Canon Ollard, w-ho was revisiting Oxford
for a short holiday, the sum of j^50 was raised by some of his friends to meet
a similar sum offered by the Bodleian, and the Library became the possessor of
the whole series. A list of the subscribers will appear in the Annual Report
for 1916.
Lots 577-8 in the sale of Miss Richardson Currer’s library at Sotheby's on June 2,
1916, comprised the extensive and interesting scientific correspondence
of Dr. Richard Richardson (1663-1721), the well-known botanist.
There were many letters from Dr. William Sherard (founder of the
Sherardian Professorship of Botany at Oxford) and his brotherjjames,
Thoresby, Edward Lhuyd, Uvedale, Hearne, and the like. It was
felt that an effort should be made to secure the series for Oxford, and by the energy
of Sir William Osier this was happily accomplished. The Radcliffe Trustees were
able to contribute towards the for which it was bought, and guarantors
provided the needful balance. The whole collection has been deposited in the

Bodleian, which has promised to issue a separate catalogue of these twelve folio
volumes, which will ultimately form part of the Bodleian Summary Catalogue of
Deposited MSS.
Mr. E. Gordon Duff has presented a book to the Library which is in * Marchmont ’
binding, and has added to his favour by writing the following note :—
Marchmont * original Marchmont Library was made by Patrick Hume, Earl
Library Marchmont [1641-1724], who stamped many of his books with his
arms and also used a book-plate dated 1702. The library was much
increased by Hugh Hume, third Earl [1708-94], a great collector of rare books and
manuscripts, whose collection was considered one of the finest in Britain. Dying
without direct heirs he bequeathed all his personal property, including his library
and papers, to his great friend and sole executor. Sir George Rose [1744-1818],
the eminent statesman. Sir George Rose had a special book-plate engraved for
these books, which has above his arms the initial M below a coronet. Sir George’s
son. Sir George Henry Rose [1771-1855], inherited the collection and published
some of the papers in 1831. In 1835 Hugh Scott claimed and obtained the title
of Lord Polwarth, as representative of the old Earls of Marchmont, Barons
Polwarth. Anxious to recover as far as possible the old family possessions, he
repurchased from Rose the Marchmont Library and removed it to Mertoun House,
St. Boswells, Berwickshire, the Polwarth family estate. About 1913 the Mertoun
estate was sold to Lord Brackley, and the library in part sold by auction. The books
collected by the third Earl Marchmont were generally bound in red morocco and
stamped with “an orange proper ensigned with an imperial crown”, an augmenta¬
tion granted to the first Earl by William III.’ The volume presented is Respublica
Lutzeniburgensis . . ., 1635 (Antiq. g. N. 1635. i).
Dean
Burgon.
Friends of Dean Burgon who remember the curiously tumultuous condition of
his study at Oriel in pre-Chichester days may be surprised to know
that in preserving and arranging the correspondence which followed
every issue of his numerous controversial pamphlets he was most
precise and methodical. The Rev. C. H. Rose, Rector of Hutton, Weston-super-
Mare, a son of Burgon’s great friend, has recently presented several volumes of
the Dean’s correspondence, ten of which contain most of his minor publications,
such as sermons and pamphlets, followed in each case by the letters he received
after publication, both friendly and critical. These are carefully numbered and

bound in order of reception, and comprise many from Pusey, a few from Newman,
and a large number from political as well as theological celebrities. Burgon
posted copies of his pamphlets freely both to sympathizers and opponents, and the
devices by which the recipients, while grateful for the gift, avoided the necessity
of reading and delivering an opinion are amusing. Many years ago over seventy
bound volumes of pamphlets received by Burgon were offered to the Library,
but were unfortunately refused, and now rest on the shelves of the Cathedral
Library at Wells.
In the first number of the B. Q. R. a sonnet by William Wordsworth on St. Mary’s
Church at Cardiff, beginning ‘ When Severn’s sw-eeping flood had
overthrown ’, was printed, as unpublished, from Wordsworth’s
autograph copy in MS. Montagu d. 18, fol. 165 ; but, before the
number was issued to subscribers, the sonnet was found to have been
privately printed at the time at which it was composed (1842), and
to have been republished in Professor Wm. Knight’s Edinburgh edition of Words¬
worth (1886), vol. viii, p. 108, and a note w'as added to that effect. Attention has
been drawn to the fact that Lord Tredegar presented to the Central Library at
Cardiff about the year 1897 a second ‘ original ’ copy of this sonnet in Wordsw-orth’s
autograph. A facsimile reproduction of the Cardiff copy, presented in 1898 to
the Bodleian Library, shows that it is the draft, and that the Bodleian version is
the fair copy. H. H. E. C.
Most of the startling assertions made in the B.Q.R. (e. g. at pp. 61, 172, 199, 209)
A Palinode unrefuted, but we have to confess that our remarks on the
Directions for Health (see p. 241) must be withdrawn. It appeared
that Sir William Vaughan had appropriated a work by Gratarolus and issued it
in 1600 as his own. The Bodleian copy of the 1602 edition seemed to prove it
to the hilt. But no ! The acuteness of Mr. F. S. Ferguson, of Mr. Quaritch’s
establishment, has vindicated Vaughan, after an inspection of his book at the
British Museum. The Bodleian copy, purchased at a considerable cost in the
middle of the last century, is after all a made-up book, combining the title and
preface of Vaughan with the text of Gratarolus! The book is in good modern
binding, and there was nothing to raise suspicion. But so it is. There are editions
of Vaughan’s book Natural and artificiall directions for health of 1600, 1602, 1607,
1613, 1617, 1626,1633 ; and of Gratarolus’s Directions for the health of Magistrates^

translated by T. N(cwton), of 1574. Some malign influence presided over the
composition of the whole paragraph, for even the parallel with Leonardus Aretinus
must be modified. He died in 1444 before the invention of printing, and so was
not responsible for the fault of his later editor in 1470. But Leonardus’s dedicatory
epistle printed in that edition shows that he did in effect claim that his Latin
paraphrase of Procopius’s Greek treatise was an original work (see Krumbacher’s
Gesch. der byzant. LitUratur, ed. 2 (1897), p. 234).
The Library has derived much benefit from some welcome offers of unpaid
assistance. The list of drawings contained in about twenty boxes of
Douce Prints, compiled by Mr. A. C. Madan in 1915, has been
^ supplemented by Mr. G. R. Scott, ex-Fellow of Merton, who has
similarly treated ten additional portfolios of Douce Prints. Mr. C. H. Keith
Jopp, the University Lecturer in Marathi, besides presenting some volumes of
privately issued Madras Law Reports, has ingeniously compiled a slip index of
treasures of the Library specially interesting to various kinds of visitors. This will
be of great service after the War, when meetings, conferences, and congresses
are again held in Oxford and when mixed assortments of visitors arrive. It has
already been used in connexion with recent parties of French Professors and
Belgian Lawyers, as well as w'hen Mr. Hughes, the Australian Premier, came to
see the Library. The Principal of Brasenose, whose interest in Dante is well
known, has also kindly sorted and arranged Dr. Paget Toynbee’s valuable gift of
more than 350 volumes of texts of that poet’s works, especially of course of the
Divina Commedia. To each and all of these ‘ Friends of the Bodleian ’ our best
thanks are due for very useful assistance.
Obiter
Reproductions of the Bodleian Tapestry Maps, which are still on exhibition at
the Victoria and Albert Museum, have been published with a preface
in the V. & A. M. Portfolios, Tapestries III (price is. 6 d.). The
scripta. statement on p. 38 of the B. Q. R. that William Sheldon’s workmen
‘ produced at least five large maps ... as their first productions ’, must now be
qualified, as it appears that the production of the Sheldon maps covered a period
of more than fifty years. The Bodleian examples are, however, the earliest.—
Mr. A. G. B. Russell, Rouge Croix, has most kindly presented ‘ a collection,
probably unique in its kind, of the works of the Belgian Poet, Emile Verhaeren . . .
in honour of the poet’s refuge in this country ’. The gift consists of 37 volumes

in fine condition, beginning with Verhaeren’s first work, Les Flamandes (Brussels,
1883). An extended notice of the collection will appear in the Annual Report for
1916.—In 1604 volumes i, 2, 4 and 5 of the 1530 Bale edition of Opera divi loannis
Chrysostomi (in gilt-tooled binding with the Arms of Henry VIII by Berthelet) were
presented by the Earl of Nottingham to the Bodleian. Let it be recorded that
in 1907 Mr. E. Gordon Duff, to whom the Library owes so much, presented the
missing third volume and completed the set—a fine consummation after three
hundred years.—In B. Q. R., no. 5, p. 133, col. a, 1 . 4, Seranala should be Serauala,
as Dr. Paget Toynbee kindly points out.—The Statistical Survey of the Library
printed in the last number of the B. Q. R. has excited considerable attention,
and the October number will contain the substance of the comments on it.—The
concluding part of Mr. Wheeler’s paper on Bodleian Press-marks (see pp. 280-92)
will contain an account of modern marks and classifications, and appendixes of lists
of typical marks—which will interest all readers of our older works.—Dr. Aitken,
whose sudden death at Oxford on April 22 last is much regretted, had done
good work for the Bodleian as well as for College libraries, as our note on
p. 174 show.—Mr. Strickland Gibson, the Secretary to the Librarian and one of
the pillars of the Library, has joined the 22nd King’s Royal Rifles, in which he
is now Corporal, and is accompanied by the hearty good-wishes of the whole
Staff. Much of his work is taken up by Mr. R. H. Hill, and the regular Staff has
also been reinforced by Mr. J. G. Wiblin and Miss Cuming, who are both
temporary Senior Assistants.
The
The first volume of the B. Q. R. will contain the first twelve numbers, with
title-page and index. No special case for binding will be issued,
but any copies sent to Mr. Maltby at 30 St. Michael’s Street, Oxford,
will be suitably bound and guaranteed to be complete. About this
there will be a special notice in no. 12 to be issued in January 1917. The statement
of accounts promised in the last issue will be more fittingly printed in no. 12.
Although we are not yet self-supporting, we hope to be so after the War, and,
meanwhile, the generous help of Sir William Osier and other friends prevents it
from being a burden on the Library finances. But there is so much which we
might print, if we could afford it, that one cannot help hoping that the B. Q. R.
may some day be so fortunate as to receive an endowment of its own, just as the
Brasenose College Magazine has lately been put on a sound footing by a gift of
£200 from an alumnus of the College.

BODLEIAN PRESS-MARKS IN RELATION TO CLASSIFICATION
The Bodleian offers a field for the study of methods of classification and shelf-notation
such as could hardly be found in any other library in the world. In the three hundred years
of the Library’s history many methods have been introduced and have prevailed for longer or
shorter periods, each in its turn being limited in use to current accessions and leaving unchanged
books referenced under earlier systems. The re-classification of the whole Library, proposed
in 1858, has never been carried into effect, and books, therefore, for the most part have to-day
press-marks which, if not always actually the same, are similar in form to those which they
received w^hen they were first placed in the Library.
It is proposed to give here short descriptions of some of the more important of the systems
which have from time to time been adopted. Except for the few early years when they were
placed with printed books, manuscripts will not be included, and classes of literature, such as
Law, Music, Oriental Philology, and Numismatics, which were for many years omitted from
schemes of classification, will receive but brief notice, while special collections of printed books—
of w'hich the press-marks usually consist of the name (often in an abbreviated form) of the
donor or former possessor, with the addition either of a letter and sequence number (as, for
example. Douce F. 26), or of a sequence number only (such as Malone 375)—will only be dealt
with in so far as they have obtained a permanent place in the classification of the Library.
The Gough Collection, for instance, which was received in 1809, consisted chiefly of works on
British topography, and the name has since been retained (e.g. Gough Adds. Oxon. 8® 524)
for later additions on the same subject.

Looked at from this point of view the history of the Bodleian may be divided into three
periods. But there is one feature common to them all, that is to say, the separation of books
of different size. Want of room, which was first felt within three years of the date of the opening
of the Library, when as Dr. James, Bodley’s first Librarian, wrote,^ ‘ Bibliotheca libris, magis
quam libri Bibliothecae deesse videntur \ and which has persisted in a more or less acute form
till within the last few years, has from time to time even rendered necessary an increase in the
number of the original size-divisions.
The first of these periods, which extended wellnigh to the end of the eighteenth century,
may be entitled that of ‘ Classification by Faculties ^; the second (^, 1789-1823 ; bj 1824-60),
when subject-division was entirely ignored, that of ‘ Numerical Sequence ’; the third {a^ l86l-
83 ; fc, 1883 onward) that of * Detailed subject-classification by numbers which began with
a small division of subjects, was expanded a few years later, and increased almost a thousandfold
in 1883.
A. Early Period (1602-1789 )—Classification by Faculties
For the earliest years of the Library we are fortunately in possession of a considerable
amount of information. The letters which Sir Thomas Bodley wrote to his first Librarian,
published from the originals in MS. Bodley 699 by Thomas Hearne in 1703 with the title
Reliquiae Bodleianaey^ contain numerous references to the methods pursued in the arrangement
of the books, and to some extent allow us to see the Library in process of formation, while the
first Catalogue, published in 1605, but in great part printed in the previous year, shows very
clearly the completed result. Bodley himself gave unstinted aid in the compilation of the
Catalogue, which is a pioneer achievement of very great merit.* In it the books, between five
and six thousand in number, are arranged, not in a complete alphabetical order, but in the
order in which the folio volumes (arranged by the first letter only of their authors) stood
on the shelves, while in each division the titles and press-marks of the volumes in quarto and
octavo are added, so that these shelf-lists really become a subject-catalogue of the whole of the
Library.
The Old Library
Before dealing in as much detail as is here possible with these arrangements it may be worth
while to indicate the positions which the old divisions occupied in 1602-10. Neither the Arts
End nor the Selden End had then been added, and the 2,000 books which the Library contained
in 1602 were housed in the building in which Duke Humfrev’s books had formerly been
placed. At the East end (furthest from the entrance at that time) were the two cases, now

arranged chronologically by the use of paste and scissors. Sir Thomas Bodley hardly ever added the year
to his dating ; hence Hearne’s confusion.

marked Arch. E + G, and Arch. F, then known as the ‘ Grates ^ or ‘ Archives \ containing
the more precious of the MSS. and printed books, which the Keeper was by Statute compelled
to give out with his own hands. Close by were the two recesses, now the Librarians’ studies
or ‘ Closets ’ (the Museum Protobibliothecarii and the Museum Hypobibliothecarii), then
fitted with seven shelves ^ on each side for the accommodation of the books in quarto and
octavo.2 In the body of the room stood, much as they stand to-day, the cases w^hich then,
as now, held the folio volumes, each case having at the end a ‘Table ’,3 i. c. a frame with vertical
partition in the centre which contained lists of the books on either side of the case. At first
only the shelves above the desks were used, but in 1605 ^ others were added below, an addition
which had been contemplated from the first,^and at about the same time a gallery ^ was fitted
up over the Library door to provide badly-needed accommodation for the swelling number
of volumes in octavo.*^
Arrangement of Books
The books thus placed were arranged in four subject-divisions, Theology, Medicine, Law,
and Arts.® This was the method of arrangement by subjects common at the time, though we
find that the University Library at Cambridge had been more minutely divided as early as 1473,®’
while the Catalogue of the Library at Utrecht, published in 1608, shows that the divisions
there were Theology, Jurisprudence, Medicine, History, Philosophy, and Literature, and the
University Library of Leyden^® had in 1610 the same divisions as those at Utrecht, but in
a different order and with an additional section for Mathematics.
The classification cannot be considered a very satisfactory one. It may perhaps be justified
on the ground that it was desirable that a Library intended primarily for members of the
University should have its books arranged according to the four main faculties of University
studies. Even though Medicine included the greater part of ‘ Natural History ’ and Law the
whole art of government, the very diverse subjects. Mathematics, History, Philosophy, and
Literature included in Arts, made this section a very miscellaneous one, and in consequence

as well as the Seven Liberal Arts.

it soon showed signs of increasing out of all proportion to the rest of the Library.^ In 1^2,
if we may argue from the number of cases assigned respectively to the folio volumes in Theology
and Arts, the latter class was but one-half that of the former, while two years later the number
of these volumes was, in Theology 1,510, in Arts 985.^
Difficulties in Classification
Rudimentary as the classification was it w'as not always clear in which of the four classes
particular books should be placed. One instance of this may be given here. The Librarian,
having a Hebrew Lexicon and Grammar to classify, placed these in Theology. Bodley, consider¬
ing that ‘ Lexicons and grammars are no more for one science than another wished to have
them transferred to Arts.^ Our Founder was well versed in Hebrew, and his opinion, even when
wrong, could not be altogether ignored, and the Librarian therefore compromised matters
by leaving the Grammar in Theology and re-referencing the Lexicon in Arts !
A further difficulty arose from the practice of binding together works of the same size
w'ithout regard to differences of subjects. To this day the first edition of Drayton’s Polyolbion
is classified among theological works ^ owing to its having been bound at the end of R. Rogers’
Seaven treatises containing directions leading to true happiness ; and in the same class ^ is placed
a work entitled A brief treatise of the use of the globe celestiall and terrestrial^ which had been
bound in a volume containing an Alarum to the last judgement and other theological w'orks, the
unfortunate combination in this instance being probably due to a misunderstanding of the
word ‘celestiall’ in the title of that work, on the part of Verneuil, the Sub-Librarian of the time,
who, as other records show, never entirely mastered the language of the country of his
adoption.®
Number of Divisions
The books classified into these four subject-divisions were divided by size into folios, quartos,
and octavos. Further, in each of these twelve sections works were arranged alphabetically
under the first initial letter of their authors’ names. There were thus in all not far short of
300 ultimate divisions, which for a Library of 2,000 volumes may certainly be considered not
to have been inadequate. The sections varied very considerably in extent. The same division
w as made in the small class of Medicine as in the large one of Theology, and the disparity was
still further increased by the rough alphabetical order. While, for instance, 18 shelves (which
in 1604 held 196 volumes) were assigned to the writings of theologians whose names began
with B, the single shelf allotted to wTiters on the same subject whose initial was Y had but one
occupant, and among the Medical books some shelves were entirely bare.

284 BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
Shelf-arrangevient, a. Folios
The arrangement of books on the shelves was somewhat different in the case of the folios
from that of the quartos and octavos. In dealing with the first-named of these a certain number
of cases was assigned to each subject. In these one or more shelves, which in some instances
w^ere partly in one case and partly in the next, were set apart for the alphabetical divisions by
the names of authors. The shelves assigned to each letter were then numbered consecutively,
as were also the volumes placed upon them, the first book on the first shelf in division A being
marked A i. i, the second A i. 2, the first book on the second shelf in division B, B 2. i, and
so on through the rest of the alphabet.
A system, very similar to, though not identical with, that just described, which usually takes
the form of assigning a definite number or letter to each tier, shelf, and book, is still frequently
to be found in use in libraries, sometimes even in those which have been re-arranged in quite
recent times. Nor is it without its advantages. Finding, for instance, that a book is marked
A I. 14, all one has to do is to find Case A, shelf i, and the 14th book on that shelf is the one
wanted. This is simple and easy, and if new books are merely placed wherever there is a vacant
space, and no regard is paid to division of subjects, all goes well. If, however, books are classified,
even if the number of subdivisions is but small, trouble arises when new' books arc received
and the shelves in any division become filled. When that has happened either the books must
be re-arranged, in which case for each book moved an alteration is required in the Shelf-list
and in the copy of the Catalogue kept in the Library, while any printed Catalogue that may have
been issued becomes unreliable, or a new classification must be begun in another part of the
Library, but in this way most of the advantages of classification are lost. The Bodleian was at
this time growing by leaps and bounds, and trouble soon arose. The rough alphabetical order,
too, increased the difficulty. Even at the outset instances of works of the same author being
placed under two different initials were not uncommon, as, for instance, one edition of Petronius
Arbiter is in P, while another is in A,^ and as shelves were filled more fully in one part than in
another, works w'ere frequently, for convenience of assigning a place, placed under the editor
instead of under the author, while collections such as the Historiae Romanae Scriptores were,
regardless of principle, placed in the letter whose shelves offered a vacant place. Even these
devices availed for a time only, and sooner or later the alphabetical order was frankly neglected,
and books were placed wherever room could be found for them in any of the cases assigned to
the subject-division to which they belonged. It is true that in the sections for Theology,
Medicine, and Law, a certain number of books still retain their original press-marks, and in
very many more the letter in the press-mark is that to which the author properly belongs, but
in the Arts section, where the increase was greatest, the number is much smaller. The alpha¬
betical order continued to be more or less observed in Arts even after its transfer to the
new Arts End in 1612 ; the first folio Shakespeare, for instance, w'hich was received in 1623
(and restored to the Library in 1905),* being rightly placed on an S shelf (S 2. 17 Art.), but

about 1723 the whole of this class was re-arranged and the letters, which now mark tiers, run
to M only. Two instances from the three earliest Catalogues of the Library, one from the
Theological section, in which, it will be noticed, the correct letter is retained throughout, the
other from Arts, in which the letter has been changed, will show how' frequently alterations
of pressmark had to be made. Brianson, In quartum SenUntiarum ColUctariurrij in 1605 was
marked B 3. 14 Th., in 1620 B 25. 2 Th., in 1674 B 6. 8 Th.; the 1586 edition of Virgil
was in 1605, V 2. 2 Art., in 1620, F i. ii Art., in 1674, F i. 10 Art.
Shelf-arrangement, b. Quartos and Octavos
For the smallcr-sizcd volumes a far better arrangement was from the first adopted. These
were divided into precisely the same sections as were the folios, but, instead of receiving numbers
on definite shelves, they were numbered in sequence only. The first octavo work on Theology
by a writer whose initial was A was thus 8° A l Th., the hundredth 8® A 100 Th.; the first
writer with the initial Z was 8® Z i Th., and the same in the intervening letters. The advantages
of this method over that adopted for the folios are very great. While the books receive no
less distinctive and individual press-marks, they can be moved backwards or forwards as the
increase is greater or less in one part than in another. If, for instance, the space left for growth
in W is filled up, while that left for Y remains empty, all that is necessary is to move the books
already in Y further along, or even to the next shelf, and the space at once becomes available
for additions to VV. In this w^ay, without any alteration of press-marks, every' inch of space
can be utilized, and at the same time books can be placed in their proper divisions, and, when
all the vacant spaces have been filled, the entire collection can be transferred—still with the
original press-marks—to another part of the Library. This, in fact, was done. The octavo
volumes in all the four Faculties were within a few years twice moved, first from the Studies
to the gallery at the West End, and later to the galleries in the new’ly-erected Arts End, while
the position of those marked Jur. has since been twice changed, and yet in all the classes they
retain almost without exception the press-marks given to them when they w^ere first placed
in the Library. Taking the octavo books under the letter E in each of the four Faculties and
comparing the press-marks assigned to them in the printed Catalogue of 1605 with those in the
present Catalogue, it was found that of the 46 books thus investigated the press-marks were
identical in the case of all those (41 in number) which still remain in the Librar)', while a further
experiment, in which a score wx*re chosen at random, gave a similar result.
Nezv Principle of Press-marking
In this method of press-marking we may see in all probability the first attempt to make
press-marks independent of any definite bookcase (‘ press ’)—a point of much interest. But
it is not suggested that the advantages of this method were fully recognized by those who were
responsible for its adoption, and it is certain that the possibilities of continuous expansion
which it offered were not made use of bv their successors. To what extent this mav have been

due to the inferior system applied to the folios cannot now be ascertained. When the arrange¬
ment adopted for the latter made it necessary in their case to begin a new series, it was almost
inevitable that the same course should be pursued with the smaller-sized volumes, even though
the necessity was absent.
The difference of arrangement was probably in some measure due to the different conditions
under which the folio and octavo volumes were obtained by readers, and it may therefore be
well to state briefly what these were and, as far as may be, what was the view taken of them by
readers of that time. The folios were, as has been already mentioned, chained to the shelves
in the centre of the Library, and were thus accessible to readers, while those of the smaller
sizes (which were not chained) were kept under lock and key and had to be obtained from the
Under-keeper, and there was in consequence less necessity for a fixed location for the latter
than for the former.
Access to the Shelves
Readers of that date, like those of later times, much disliked the necessity of ‘ ordering ’
books. They greatly preferred to be able to go to the shelves for those they required, even
though there was no possibility of removing them to a more convenient place. Something was
done to meet this desire. Those of the quarto volumes which were bound in boards and could
consequently be chained were incorporated with the folios, and, later, more of these were
re-bound so that they might take their places on shelves to which readers had access.^ With
the octavos this could not be attempted. These consequently remained in locked cases and^
if we may believe a contemporary account, were more or less unobtainable by readers ^ ‘ who
for modesty sake doe many times abstaine from callinge for such bookes for feare of ouer-
troublinge y® Underkeeper \ At a later date the same complaint took a different form. Hearne,
who was at the time responsible for procuring these books, notes in his diary (Sept. i6, 1712)
Dr. Hudson told me to day that some have complain’d, that Books in the Publick Library arc
not so easily come at as usual. I am glad there is such a Complaint. I am afraid the Complainers
are such as us’d to steal Books from the Library, and, upon that account, are concern’d that
they arc more strictly look’d after than formerly.
Whether his suspicions were well-founded in this case we have no means of ascertaining, but
that such malpractices were not unknown is evident from one of the suggestions made by
Humphrey Wanley in the paper he drew up in 1697,^ while specific instances will be found in
Dr. Macray’s Annals of the Bodleian Library.^
The question of open-access came up in an acute form in 1613. Before that date the MSS.
had been ranged with the printed books, and were therefore in great part accessible to readers.
The arrangement had not indeed been approved by James, who had made repeated but unavail-

ing protests against it.^ Bodley, who had insisted on their being placed together, died early
in 1613, and James almost immediately afterwards removed the MSS. from the shelves in
Duke Humfrey’s Library to the gallery at the West End, from which the octavo volumes had
recently been transferred to the Arts End.* Protests were at once made against this locking
up of the MSS., and, these proving ineffective, Brian Twyne, the historian, who was at that
time pursuing his researches in the Library, drew up and presented at the Visitation on Novem¬
ber 8 an indictment of James which, while it touched on the latter’s other administrative
‘ sins, negligencies and ignorances ’, was chiefly directed against his action in locking up the
MSS. ‘ which were before for the free and common use of all men ’. The ‘ Visitors ’ appear
to have been unwilling to interfere with the Librarian’s action, and finally Twyne succeeded
in inducing the Vice-Chancellor to come and see what had been done. The latter appears
not to have had a close acquaintance with the Library, and, to quote Twyne’s own account,*
‘ The Vice-Chancellor asked of me where ye MS. stood before this remouall. I answered y*
y*' stood here belowe chained to these desks, to which M*^ Vice-chanc. replied, did they stand
there before ? then there they may stand againe for any thinge that I knowe ’. And stand
there again they did until some time after James had ceased to be Librarian.^
The Founder^s hifluence
Before turning to the later history of this classification it may be worth while to show how
far the arrangements outlined above were due to the Founder and how far to his first Librarian.
The attention to detail which Bodley lavished on the Library he had founded is shown both
in his letters and in the statutes he drew up for its government.* To mention only one instance
of this, the ringing of the bell which to this day marks the opening and closing hours was due
to his desire ‘ that men may shun the discommodities of repairing thither oversoon or abiding
there too long, which the difference of clocks may occasion very often ’.* It is not, therefore,
likely that the arrangement of the books would have been overlooked. We find that three
years before the Library opened its doors this matter was already in his thoughts. In a letter
written on December 24, 1599, he bids James, who was then at Cambridge, ‘ by no means
omit to take good notice of their orders in placing and disposing their Library books: whether
they do it by the alphabet or according to the Faculties and in subsequent letters there
are frequent references to the amount of space to be allotted to each class,® to the order in
w hich these should be placed,® and even to the classification of particular books. On the other
hand, James, though he elaborately classified the MSS. catalogued in his Ecloga Oxonio-

Cantabrigiensis^ and after he had ceased to be Librarian drew up a subject list of works for
students of Arts/ was no believer in shelf-classification, as is shown in the preface he wrote to
the Catalogue published in 1620, in which he recommends that books should be divided into
folio, quarto, and octavo, and then numbered consecutively throughout in each of these.
The order in which the classes w^ere placed was, on the other hand, due to the Librarian,
Bodley having argued strongly in favour of placing Law before Medicine,* and to him, too, may
be assigned the method on which the folios were press-marked. The Founder, indeed, saw
no necessity for press-marks at all,* thinking probably that the ‘ Table ^ which was placed at
the end of each case would be a sufficient guide to its contents. Lastly, the mingling of
the MSS. with printed books w'as quite certainly due to Bodley.^ Posterity has since shown
a decided preference for the separation of these two classes, and it w^ould be generally agreed
to-day that here at least the Founder judged wrongly. Two points may be urged in defence
of him, if defence be necessary, firstly, that the distinction betw^een the two was less great
then than it is now, and secondly, that it showed how anxious he was that the w'hole of the
literature of each subject should be as far as possible in one place.
Later Tears of the Original Classifcation
The original classification was applied to all books added to the Library before the reception
of the Selden donation in 1653-9, and remained in use to a greater or less extent until almost
the end of the first half of the nineteenth century, while in the subsidiary series the pressmarks
were of the same general character, and, when the books w'ere classified, their classification
was into the same fourfold division of subjects. This was the case, for instance, with Selden’s
books, w'hich were placed in the newly-erected West End of the Library—to which the name
Selden became almost immediately attached—and received press-marks which differed from
those of the original collection only in having the affix ‘ Seld.’ (c.g. 8® A 24 Art. Seld.).
Not long after this great donation had been dealt w ith, apparently in or about 1668, a second
series was begun for the general contents of the Library, which in its first use appears to have
been mainly employed for referencing the previously unreferenced additions made during the
years 1650-68. The books were marked BS. (e. g. 8® A 12 Th. BS.) and were placed in the
Selden End (Bibliotheca Seldcniana), and the small extent of this series is probably due to the
small amount of accommodation there available. The arrangement follow^ed in the main
that of the older collection, but two points of difference are to be noticed. The first of
these is that the folio volumes w'cre placed w'ithout classification in one continuous sequence,
the second that the alphabetical arrangement, though maintained in great measure for quartos
and octavos in the larger sections of Theology and Arts, w^as altogether abandoned in the

smaller divisions of Medicine and Law, in which the quarto volumes were lettered A, and
the octavos A or B.
A fourth collection was added to the three already existing when in 1693-4 the books of
Thomas Barlow, Bishop of Lincoln and a former Librarian, were bequeathed to the Library.
The folio volumes it contained were few in number and were dispersed among existing collec¬
tions, but the quartos and octavos were kept- together, and received press-marks somewhat
similar to those already in use. As, however, the books were wholly unclassified the subject-
marks were necessarily omitted, and the collection was distinguished by the addition of the
abbreviation ‘ Linc.^ (e. g. 8® D 24 Line.).
Structural Additions
During the centurj' w-hich has now been dealt with, considerable structural additions had
been made to the Library, the most important of these being the Arts End in 1612, the Selden
End in 1640, and the galleries on the North and South sides of Duke Humfrey’s Library in 1694.
Early in the next centur*)' a further increase in the shelving accommodation W'as made. Except
for a few years immediately preceding the erection of the Arts End the cases in the low^er part
of the Library had shelves above the desks only. Both Monconnys, who visited the Library
in 1663, and Zacharias Conrad von Uffenbach,^ who made a close inspection of it in 1710,
state that each tier contained no more than three shelves. There was thus a space of zl feet
below the desks which had hitherto remained unoccupied. This was now utilized, and, appa¬
rently in order to obtain the largest possible amount of room for books, the quarto volumes
which had previously been to a great extent ^ placed with the folios, together with the smaller
of those of the latter size, were removed and placed on these lower shelves, being marked with
double letters and then numbered consecutively (e. g. AA 24 Th. ; NN 15 Art. Seld.).
In this way a new size division was added to the three which previously existed, these now
being (i) large folio, (2) small folio and large quarto, (3) small quarto, (4) octavo.
Small number of Additions
The amount of space gained in this way, added to that obtained by previous enlargements,
seems to have provided sufficient accommodation for all the additions of the next three-quarters
of the century, and, in the case of the folios, for a still longer time. Apart from the large
special donations (which were usually kept separate from the ordinary accessions) the increase
of books during the eighteenth century seems not to have been great. Not only w as the money
w'hich could be devoted to the purchase of books inconsiderable in amount, but there was also
great remissness on the part of the Stationers’ Company in forwarding new publications.
Complaints on this point were frequent and apparently not without justification. In one

full year in the middle of the century but 30 books were sent, and these were for the most
part of a very trivial kind, while the lists of purchases of later dates contain the titles of many
books which should have been received at the time of publication.
For the accommodation of this comparatively small number of books all existing sections
were used, additions being even made to the special collections of Selden and the Bishop of
Lincoln. The latter in fact received a very large number, some being referenced there within
a few years of its being placed in the Library, and it was probably in part due to the use of this
collection, which was an unclassified one, that the classification became increasingly disregarded
in the classified sections, though this was doubtless also to some extent due to the different
amount of space available in the various divisions. The Law section, largely no doubt owing
to the inconsiderable increase in the number of books properly belonging to that subject,
suffered especially. In 1721 the works of Chaucer and also of Addison were classified as Law
books, and later all kinds of literature—^Theology, Medicine, and especially History and
Classical Literature—were placed in this division, while the Statutes of Henry VII was
placed among medical books and the Works of Ovid in Theology.
B. Middle Period (1789-1860)— Numerical Sequence
By the end of the eighteenth century the old classification had entirely lost any utility it
had ever possessed. Nor had the time yet arrived for the introduction of a system more in
accordance with later views as to the proper division of subjects. WTicn, then, in 1789, the
MSS., which had hitherto been shelved in the Selden End, were transferred to the recently-
acquired ‘ Auctarium formerly the Anatomy School, new series were begun in which all
attempt at classification was definitely abandoned. On these shelves Buffon and Shakespeare
stand side by side. Dr. Samuel Johnson’s works are followed by Pomponius Mela De situ arbis.
On one shelf an edition of Cicero in seven volumes is followed by A collection of farces acted
at the theatres royal^ also in seven volumes, and on another a work on the Jesuits has on one
side an edition of Lucretius, on the other Withering’s Arrangement of British plants.
The octavo volumes of this series were placed in tiers lettered A to Z, being in each of these
numbered consecutively, and the press-marks given to them were, except for the omission of
the subject-mark, similar in form (e.g. 8® B 270 BS.) to those of the earlier classified collection
which had been shelved in the Selden Galleries in about the year 1668. In the older collection,
however, the alphabetical order had been based upon an arrangement of the books by the
initial letters of their authors’ names, whereas now the letter had no such significance, but
indicated only the tier in which the book was placed.
In the arrangement of the quartos the alphabetical order was entirely abandoned, and the
books were placed in one continuous sequence [e.g. 4® BS. 240].
An offshoot of this, marked AS. (e.g. AS. 240), apparently in ignorance or disregard of the
proper meaning of the letters BS. (see p. 288), dates from about 1805, and from thence to about
1820 the two were used concurrently, BS. for the larger, AS. for the smaller of the volumes
in quarto.

DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS 291
The folios continued for the most part to be dispersed among the older collections, but
a certain number of illustrated books were placed in cases marked Arch. Nat. Hist., Arch. Antiq.,
and Arch. Num. (i. e. Numismaticum), without at that time receiving any more specific
press-marks, these being added many years later.
The ^ Tear-books^j 1824-60
In the early part of the nineteenth century the yearly additions began to attain considerable
proportions. Not only were something like a thousand volumes received annually from the
Stationers’ Company, but the number of works purchased had also then increased enormously.
The Selden End, which had hitherto received the greater part of the additions, had now been
almost filled, and recourse was at length had to the Picture Gallery, where a new series was
commenced in 1824 for the octavo volumes in a new form, which was, however, merely a logical
development of that which had preceded it. These were numbered consecutively in each
year, and, the two first figures of the date being omitted from the press-mark, the first book
thus referenced in 1824 was marked 24.1, the second 24.2, the first in 1825,25.1, and the number¬
ing was repeated in each succeeding year till the end of 1850 (the last book of this year being
marked 50.2078), from which date to i860 they were merely arranged in alphabetical order
without receiving press-marks.
Supplementary Sections
Assuming that one is content to have books on all subjects heaped together, the system was
a very excellent one within its limits, and the press-marks possess a quite attractive simplicity,
especially when they are compared with some of the more complex ones of later or even of
earlier dates. It was not, however, without drawbacks. The date adopted for the press-mark
was almost of necessity the date of publication, and the system could in consequence only be
applied to works in more than one volume when these were published simultaneously. Further,
a large number of the works purchased in each year were of dates anterior to the introduction
of this method of arrangement. For the latter, then, as also for works in several volumes the
publication of which extended over more than one year, some other plan had to be devised.
For some few years these two classes were placed in the Selden End, partly with the older
collections, partly in one newly commenced. This had been made possible by the additional
shelves which had been placed in that part of the Library. The tiers in these Galleries had
originally contained eight shelves only, but about this time two more were added at the top.
In the Southern Gallery these were used for an extension of the unclassified BS. series. Four
new sections were added, being marked with Greek letters a-o—the English alphabet having
been already exhausted—and the books in these new sections were placed on the additional
shelves, a and /i on the Eastern side, y and 8 on the Western. On the Eastern side of the
Northern Gallery the added space was used for an extension of the classified BS. collection,
which was now revived after having practically fallen into disuse within a few years of its
adoption, some of the divisions of this, as, for instance, 8® C. Jur. BS., belonging entirely to
this period. On the Western side the re-arrangement of the books already there left free two

tiers in which an entirely new series—marked 8® 2—was placed. The books thus marked were
added to the Library between the years 1837 ^844, and were the last it was possible to
place in the Selden Galleries. Recourse then had to be had to the Picture Gallery for the
older books as well as for the new, and from this date till i860 almost the whole of the octavo
additions had to be accommodated there. The new books were, as has been already stated,
placed there among the ‘ Year-books ’ ; the older books and sets in a large number of volumes
were referenced in sections marked 0 1-5, 7-12 (e.g. 2 0 35), which were partly in the Picture
Gallery, partly in the Tower. These divisions are of some interest, as in them we find for the
first time a separation of the octavo volumes into three sizes, 5 0 being retained for large octavos,
7 0 and 10 0 for small octavos, the remaining numbers being used for those of medium size.
For the quartos two new sections were made in the year in which the ‘ Year-book ’
system was adopted, and were marked i A and 2 A, the former being for foreign books, the
latter for those in English. Of these, that into w'hich the English books were referenced
[2 A I-1374] proved sufficient for all additions down to i860, and even somewhat later, while
the former [i A 1-1088] lasted till about 1843 —a few large sets having in the meanwhile been
placed in 60 [6 0 1-246], and additions having also been made to the older division marked
4® BS.—and was then followed by 4® 2 [4® 2 1-779], the books in which were placed in the
lower part of the Selden End and appear to have been added to the Library between 1844
(nos. 3-11 having been purchased in that year) and 1850. This was followed in turn by 3 A
[3 A 1-1327], which contained the works in foreign languages for the succeeding ten or twelve
years.
The necessity of making fresh provision for folio volumes did not arise for some few years.
At a date which is approximately 1825 printed books of the fifteenth and early sixteenth cen¬
turies were removed from the older collections and placed with those purchased in more recent
years in the Auctarium. The space thus left vacant provided sufficient accommodation for folio
additions up to 1840, in which year they began to be placed in Fol. A [Fol. A 1-660]. For
a few years almost the whole of the folio additions were thus referenced, but in 1845 separate
shelves were provided for the older books in Fol. 0 [Fol. 0 1-681], and these two divisions
remained in use—the former for the new, the latter for the older books—between 1845 and 1861.

SKETCH OF FIRST GREAT SEAL OF CHARLES II
In the B. Q, R. for October 1915 there was given at p. 199 an account of the discovery
among the Clarendon Papers of a nearly complete specimen of the first Great Seal of Charles II,
with a full description and a collotype plate of the same. No other example of the Seal had
previously been published except a completely blurred impression in the British Museum.

The announcement of its discovery resulted in attention being drawn to a second example
in a private collection : though in less fine condition than the Bodleian seal, the new specimen
was fortunately perfect, and photographs of it submitted by its owner, Mr. Fuller, enabled
further details to be added to the previous description {B. Q. /?., p. 205). A few minor points
still remained doubtful. These have now been set at rest by a seventeenth-century pen-and-ink
drawing of an uninjured example of the seal in Elias Ashmolc’s collections (MS. Ashmole 833,
foil. 376-7), recorded in the Quarto Catalogue of Ashmole MSS., but not noticed elsewhere.
The sketch is not without inaccuracies. Thus, no date is given in the legend of the
counterseal, and the king’s sword is depicted as straight instead of curved, yet the details arc
in general trustworthy. The king’s head on the seal or obverse (reproduced on p. 293), which
is wanting in the Bodleian specimen and defaced in the Fuller specimen, is ‘ three-quarters ’,
that is, slightly turned to his right. The legs of his throne terminate in dolphins’ heads,
a feature unique in Great Seals but substantiated by the two existing specimens. The rose on
the counterseal is clearly shown as double, and the lion surmounting the morion is crowned.

NOTES AND NEWS
The Shakespeare Exhibition, which was opened on Easter Monday, April 24,
was closed at 5 p.m. on July 31, having been kept open a week longer
«, , than was intended, for the convenience of members of the Conference
Exhihttion New Methods of Education. It may be pronounced a decided
success, and the Catalogue was fortunate enough to receive the
commendation of perhaps every critic. It was clearly understood that the Bodleian
did not attempt to lay out all its Shakespearean treasures, but to exhibit interesting
specimens of all the fifteen classes. The intention was not to cover so many square
feet of surface, but to show and describe samples which might fairly arrest attention
and be kept in memory. No. i in the Catalogue was eminently of this kind—the
only copy of the first edition of Shakespeare’s first publication, the famous Venus
and Adonis of 1593. Our readers will also remember that the Exhibition was not
a bid for laudation, but a public duty laid on us. When the British Museum found
itself unable to show its own xtifinMa in this kind, it fell to the next largest institution
to step into the gap. The ultimate financial loss will be about ^^35 ,not too high a price
to pay, under the circumstances. The two Catalogues (Quarto, with extra literary
matter and ten illustrations, 5/., and the Octavo, with the complete list of Exhibits
and one illustration, 6 d.) are still on sale. Bibliophiles who desire the two issues of each
Catalogue can obtain the four for ys. 6d.y plus notices, cards, &c. See also p. 300.
The chief donations of the last few months have been, first, a welcome gift of
Donations lor general purposes from Mr. C. M. Powell, Hon. Fellow of
Corpus Christ! College ; next, a valuable present (mentioned very
cursorily in our last number on p. 268) of about 350 volumes of
editions of Dante’s works, made by Dr. Paget Toynbee, who has
already enriched us with editions of Petrarch, Boccaccio, and other
Italian writers, and now addit Colophonem. On the death of Dr. Edward Moore

they came to the Bodleian Quadrangle and were shown how eloquent stone walls
can become, by the example of the scheme of Mediaeval Education which is
‘ writ large ’ on the Tower of the Five Orders and the Old Schools round the
quadrangle. Then they ascended the Tower, and noted with frequent expressions
pf appreciation the unpremeditated effects of the grouping of the buildings within
their ken. Finally, they were taken along the subway to the Underground Book¬
store, to show how inexpensively and satisfactorily, where there is small surface
space available, a dive may be made beneath the grass, and an invisible dug-out
constructed as elaborate as those of Thiepval, without in any way disturbing the

The. Editor has received some interesting letters on the Statistical Survey in
No. 9 at p. 254. Mr. Herbert Putnam, Librarian of the great Library
- . , of Congress at Washington, U.S.A., states that, so far as he knows,
1A* •• ^ 1*1 111
- the American statistics on p. 262—^which seem so remarkable to us—
do not include ‘ separate maps, prints or pieces ’, and Mr. W. W.
Bishop, now of the Ann Arbor Library, assures us that the Library of Congress
rejects about 80 per cent, of the second copies of copyright books, takes both copies
of perhaps 10 per cent., and rejects both copies of about 10 per cent. Mr. Putnam
gives the number of books and pamphlets on July i, 1915, as 2,363,873, while the
Maps, Music, and Prints add 1,261,118 more, and ‘ themanuscriptcollection includes
perhaps one million pieces ’, i. e. separate documents. He reminds us also that the
New York Public Library figures include all its various branches. Mr. A. W. Pollard
says that he had independently come to the conclusion that in the British Museum
about 10 volumes go to the foot or roughly 50,000 to the mile (52,800, to be exact).
On the ratios proposed in the Survey the British Museum would have about
2,500,000 volumes, 5,000,000 pieces, and 7,500,000 items. There seems to be some
prospect of libraries accepting the suggestion that the extent of shelvage, coupled
if possible with a subdivision of the books into folios, quartos and octavos, should
form a basis for comparison.
We are not inclined to apologize for the insertion in full of Mr. G. W. Wheeler’s
description of the development of the Bodleian ‘ Press-marks ’, as
they used to be called, from our earliest times. It is, in fact, an essay
on the attitude of the Bodleian authorities for more than three
centuries towards the books in their charge, in respect of their placing, classification,
and nomenclature. Nowhere better than in this library can the system be watched

in its inception and growth, with its tentative efforts, sometimes failures, sometimes
leading on towards principles now accepted. And more than this—a reader who
studies the successive shelf-marks of an old book will be able to extract much of its
0
history and associations, thereby adding an interest of a novel kind to the instru¬
ments of his research. The essay is original throughout, and bibliographers, if no
others, will appreciate it. Taken with Mr. Gibson’s description of the old Cata¬
logues, it exhibits the pioneer work done by the Librarians on their professional side,
long before the foundation of any Library Association or Bibliographical Society.
The Greek epigram composed by Isaac Casaubon on the death of Sir Thomas
Bodley was reprinted from lusta Funebria at p. 102 of the B. Q. R.
Casaubon,
It should have been noted that the MS. draft in Casaubon’s hand is
itself in the Library (MS. Casaubon 9, p. 403) and was printed in
Almeloveen’s edition of Casaubon’s Letters (Rotterdam, 1709), vol. ii, pt. iii, p. 247.
It differs from the Oxford text in the spelling BOAAAION in place of BOAAEION,
and in 1. 10, which reads Ileurt <re<pol( a'c<f>l(ts fpyct /AeTipxo/^f'ycis : the Oxford
reading Tlao-tv rolf a-o<f>iccf is a distinct improvement. In 1 . 7 Casaubon originally
wrote as Katl ytfua-ctf (iiliXuv, and corrected it in the margin to Eirat ytfjua-At,
which is the reading followed by both editors. Almeloveen prints Casaubon’s
note to Dr. Prideaux written in the left lower corner of the sheet, but omits the
signature in the right lower corner:—‘ Isaacus Casaubonus scribebam Oxonii in
ipsa Bibliotheca Bodlaeana ’ {corrected from ‘ in ipsa Academia ’). The Oxford
text gives ‘ Isaacus Casaubonus scribebam in inclyta Academia Oxoniensi, & in

defaced fragment. At p. 205 will be seen how the Fuller copy turned
up, and at p. 292 how a detailed sketch of the whole seal was discovered.
And now comes the Heneage Seal. Mrs. Heneage, of Coker Court, YeovU, has
very kindly sent a description of a third example, the face on the obverse being
quite clear (wanting in No. 1, not well defined in No. 2, but at last found complete
in No. 4). The seal is attached by a black and yellow ribbon to Letters Patent of
February 8, 16^5. granted at Castle Elizabeth in Jersey to Dr. Richard Steward,
Dean of the Chapel Royal, enabling him to make an alteration in his coat of arms,

as a recognition of constant loyalty to Charles I. The Dean was a connexion of
the Mr. Coker of that time, and the deed and seal are still at Coker Court, among
many other family records.
A personal experience of the tenacity with which old Bodleian books cling to their
shelves may be of interest. In dealing with a MS. of ‘ Bernardus de
Parantinis’ Super Missam for the Summary Catalogue, the present
yJ writer saw in the 1605 Catalogue what appeared to be a 1517 printed
edition of the treatise, and naturally desired to compare it. But no Bernardus de
Parantinis could be found in the General Catalogue. In despair, after casting
about and finding no clue to the present shelf-mark, he ordered the book by its old
press-mark in the 1605 Catalogue, namely, ‘ 8° L. 20 Th.’, and awaited results.
Something would come, but what ? The boy soon came back with a volume,
which turned out to be the very book desired, the treatise on the Mass! It appears
that Parentinis was the correct form misprinted Parantinis in the old Catalogue,
and the difference caused the name to be several pages from where it had been
looked for. But the volume and its old place had clung tenaciously to one
another for more than three hundred years, lying very low : and will, it is hoped,
cling for a millennium more.
The veil is seldom lifted which covers the ordinary correspondence of the Library.
Problems of administration, large or small, arise every day and have
Literary settled, and new arrangements made. Readers’ questions have
correspon- attended to, visitors received, catalogues looked through,
aence. purchases made, donations acknowledged with appropriate forms of
appreciation and gratitude, financial and other reports to be prepared, and the
like. But it is the letter-writing which takes most time and trouble, and which
can least of all be delegated. For it requires many years of experience to
acquire a style which shall raise in the mind of the recipient of a letter the
impression desired. A jarring note may have lamentable results, if only for the
oft-repeated reason that an institution like the Bodleian depends much more on
the goodwill of readers and correspondents than on any purchasing power of its
own. Many letters, say four or five a day, are literary inquiries, which often take
much time to answer properly—time not at all grudged. As examples of the
latter—favourable ones, no doubt—we may take three which happened to arrive on
the same day, namely September 30 last.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
A clergyman wrote stating that he owned what he believed was the earliest book
written to suggest the scheme which resulted in the foundation of
xamp es Bank of England, namely England’s Glory ... by a Royal Bank,
' by H. M., 1694. It was imperfect, and he believed his copy to be
unique, giving references to standard works which had no trace of it. We found
that we had a perfect copy, as has also the British Museum. A London bookseller
inquired about a rare Address of divers Gentry in Boston (U.S.A.), signed * L. H.’,
London, 1619. The bibliographers who have noticed the book have clearly not
had any copy before them. Could we help, as the printed descriptions varied ?
It is not in the British Museum, but the Bodleian possesses a complete copy. And
the Librarian of a large provincial library asked who ‘ P. H.’ was, who at some odd
period was able to exchange his second edition of George Chapman’s Eastward Hoe
(1605) for a Bodleian copy of the first edition of the same year—at first sight
a peculiar transaction. On turning to our own copy of the second edition, we found
a note that on October 30, 1826, the Rev. Peter Hall had come up from Brasenose
and taken an imperfect copy of the first edition (the Bodleian retaining three perfect
copies), in exchange for his second edition which we had not previously possessed.
Our readers will appreciate the interest of these quests, but in general the queries
are less attractive and take longer time to investigate than these particular examples,
nor are the answers always quite so satisfactory.
Changes are inevitably taking place in the Staff. Mr. Gibson, the Secretary to
‘The Staff Librarian, has joined the King’s Royal Rifles, and is now
a Lance-Sergeant. The Catalogue Revision Staff has, for the nonce,
shnmk to nothing, since the departure of Miss Dixon for nursing work, and of
Miss Hugon, who is undertaking literary work in Oxford. And of the Extra Staff,
Mr. Dyer and Mr. Berry have left, the former on Military Service, the latter
for literary work in London. The obituary following these Notes shows that two
members of the Staff have died. Mr. E. W. Prior (Non-Coil.) has joined the
Extra Staff for cataloguing work.
The sale of Shakespeare Catalogues (which is still continuing) was at the close of
_ the Exhibition as follows: Quarto edition 312, Octavo edition 832,
besides 107 and 18 presentation (editors’ or press) copies.—The
scrtpta. Library has again received some valuable voluntary help during
the Long Vacation. Mr. G. R. Scott of Merton has continued his useful work

of describing Douce and Rawlinson Prints of all kinds, and Mr. John Barclay of
Christ Church has most kindly described the contents of the Scroope Album,
a collection of valuable prints presented in 1659, to which Evelyn made additions.—
The following telegram was sent on July 7 last to the Rev. Dr. Macray, the historian
of the Bodleian, now residing at Bloxham: ‘ The Bodleian Staff heartily congratulate
you on your ninetieth birthday.’—We desire to call attention to Mr. C. Sayle’s
admirable Annals of Cambridge University Library^ a work which gives in order of
chronology a very readable account of the University Library during its continuous
existence from 1382 or so to the present time, and issued by the Library. We
do not forget the days when Mr. Sayle was at New College, nor the ties of friend¬
ship which still bind him to his old University.—A note about .the title, index, and
binding of vol. i will be found on p. 2 of the wrapper of this number.—Any delay
there may be in the publication of the present number must be ascribed to the
peculiar difficulties of printing at this exceptional time.
OBITUARY
September 30, 1916. William Henry Timberlake, born November 18, 1841,
entered the Library as Assistant in 1857. He was for three years under Dr.
Bandinel, who was an Officer of the Library from 1810 till i860 : so that a link
connecting us with the Oxford of more than a century ago is broken. Of late
years Mr. Timberlake was on the Extra Staff, the arrangements of which,
allowing a variable number of hours’ work per day, were well suited to his declin¬
ing health. He was buried on Tuesday, October 3, in St. Sepulchre’s Cemetery
in Walton Street, and several of the Staff, including the Librarian, were present
to testify their respect for the deceased.
October 2, 1916. William Francis Thurland, born April 22, 1851, entered the
Library as Assistant in 1868. He was for about forty years Senior Assistant
in charge of the Topographical department, which included the Map collection;
and was a hard-working, loyal, and faithful servant of the Library. He had a slight
stroke in June last, and never recovered his strength, having been weakened by
a bad fall down stairs about two years ago. The funeral took place on Thursday,
October 5, at Rose Hill Cemetery, and was attended by Dr. Poole (a Curator),
■ the Librarian, and many other members of the Staff, as well as by representatives
of the Sons of Temperance. The Rev. J..N. B. Whitfield, a Congregationalist
minister, officiated.

BODLEIAN PRESS-MARKS IN RELATION TO CLASSIFICATION
[Concluded: the first part is on pp. 280-292.]
C. Modern Period (1861 onwards )—Detailed Subject Classification by Numbers
A STATE of things such as this could not, of course, be allowed to continue indefinitely.
A Library which in its earliest days divided its 2,000 books into some 300 subdivisions could
not be permitted to heap books on all subjects together at a time when each year it was receiving
considerably more than 2,000 volumes. In 1855 Benjamin Jowett, afterwards Master of
Balliol, became, on his appointment as Regius Professor of Greek, an ex ojficio Curator, and
soon began to interest himself in the management of the Library. The absence of a classified
order in what were then the most recent books was very distasteful to him.^ He wished to
have the whole Library re-arranged, and in 1858 Mr, Coxe, after making investigations at the
British Museum and elsewhere, outlined a scheme for a complete re-classification of the
Library.* For a few years nothing further was done, for the compilation of the present Author-
catalogue, which was begun about this time, doubtless absorbed almost the whole energies of
the Staff. In 1861, when the Radcliffe Camera was at length transferred on loan to the Bodleian,
a beginning was made. It was ordered that the books placed in that building should be arranged
in a classified order.*
First Scheme
A scheme was therefore drawn up, and, as only modern books were to be transferred thither,
another scheme was soon afterwards introduced for those of the older books purchased by or
presented to the Library which it was desired to retain in the older building. The scheme
for the older books contains a section for Law, which is omitted from the other, and the numbers
assigned to the subjects are of course different, but otherwise the two are identical.
The division of subjects and the numbers assigned to each of these are given in Appendix B,
a glance at which will show that the classification does not err on the side of over-elaboration.
Any interest these two schemes may possess is due to their being early, even if not the earliest,
instances of the employment of numbers for marking, not particular bookcases but special
subjects, and thus paving the way for the more detailed schemes of later times which were
wholly or partly based upon that principle.

312 BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
These schemes, like the more detailed one which succeeded them, applied only to volumes
in octavo and small quarto. The folios and large quartos among new books were betw^een
i86i and 1883 placed in classes marked Theology, Medicine, Arts, Trades, Mathematics,
Physics, History, and Poetry (e.g. Poetry a. 18), with a Miscellaneous section added at a later
date, and the old books of the larger sizes were arranged without classification in numbered
sequences marked 4 A and 5 A (e.g. 5 A 24).
Second Scheme
In 1864 a further report was issued by Mr. Coxe^ in which he stated that he was combining
the compilation of a Subject-catalogue with that of the Author-catalogue, an additional copy of
the slips written for the latter being made with the intention that these should be arranged
in order of subjects. On this and other grounds he abandoned the project of re-classifying
the whole Library, and proposed to deal only with the wholly unclassified additions made
since 1824. Later in the same year he produced a scheme of classification in which the original
nine sections were by subdivision increased to 73. [See Appendix C.]
Classification by Labels
Connected with this scheme and based upon much the same division of subjects was another
which was intended to be used for the re-classification of older books without the necessity
of altering their position on the shelves. The practice of employing different colours to indicate
books on different subjects had been introduced with the revival of classification in 1861.
Special colours were allotted to the classes, as, for instance, black to theology, green to science,
and red to history ; and books were bound or, if already bound, labelled with the colours
appropriated to the subjects of which they treated. This system was adopted in an enlarged
and slightly different form for the classification of the older books. A series of labels of various
colours was designed, and on these were printed one or more letters. The labels were placed on
the backs of books, their colours indicating the main subjects, the letters the special branches
of these subjects. Thus a purple label indicated Theology, and the letter L printed upon it
further defined the subject as being Liturgiology. The same letter was frequently used for
different subjects and has in consequence different meanings on labels of different colours ;
B, for instance, marking a Bible, Botany, Biography, or Bibliography, according as the label
is purple, green, pink, or blue, and, similarly, T on purple indicated a Tract ; on chocolate,
a Treatise on Law ; on brown. Trades ; on pink, Topography ; while Cl meant the Calculus
or Colonial History according as the label was green or pink.
The varieties of these labels number not far short of a hundred. A complete list is given
in Appendix D.
Dealing with the plan as a whole it may be said that it w^as not without ingenuity and
perhaps not altogether ill-adapted for use in a smaller library. In the Bodleian its utility can
never have been very great. This, indeed, soon became evident, and the work of affixing these
labels, which was ordered by the Curators on June l, 1864, did not proceed very far. The
^ Report to the Curators of the Bodleian Libraryy May 1864,

labels arc still to be seen on the backs of books here and there in various parts of the Library—
sometimes as many as four on' one volume—but now that the colours have in process of time
become scarcely distinguishable, while the explanatory key is no longer exhibited, their meaning
is only to be made out, if at all, by an examination of the contents of the volumes to which they
have been affixed.
The scheme for the Camera books which was adopted at about the same time continued
in use as long as Mr. Coxe remained Librarian, and in it were referenced works received between
1851 and i860 which had been before merely arranged in alphabetical order without any
further reference, as well as many of those which had been classified by the temporary scheme
used during the years i86i to 1863. Even this latter work has, however, never been com¬
pleted, and not even a beginning was made with the wholly unclassified literature received
between 1824 and 1850, and the ambitious project of a complete re-classification of the Library
thus mercifully ended with the re-classification of the books of a few years only.
Final Scheme
In 1882 Mr. E. W. B. Nicholson was appointed Librarian. He at once saw that the number
of sections in this scheme was quite inadequate for a library of the size of the Bodleian, which
was now adding in each year some ten or twelve thousand books to its store. Taking one
section alone, some four thousand books had been thus classified into the division for the
history of the British Empire, and it was not easy even in the case of separate books to pick
out those on a special subject such as the History of Parliament, and in the volumes of pamphlets
almost impossible. He at once set to work and, as a temporary measure, filled up some of the
more obvious gaps, adding, for instance, sections for Social and Political Science, and later
constructed a scheme which separated subjects into much smaller subdivisions. Mr. Nicholson
himself regarded the scheme thus compiled, which came into use at the end of the following
year (1883), as provisional only.^ He looked forward to the time when the completion of the
Subject-catalogue should enable him to gain a more accurate idea of the books in the Library
and of the number of subdivisions which the various subjects required ; but, though additions
were made in the first few years and the whole was revised in 1902, it retains to-day substantially
its original form, and is still that by which the greater part of the new additions are arranged.
The scheme has about 7,000 sections, and is of course too large to be given here in full,
while the list of the chief divisions in Appendix B affords a very inadequate idea of the whole.
Perhaps the best way of showing both the method of its construction and the result obtained
will be to take one of the smaller sections and explain this in detail. In Mr. Coxe’s later scheme
all works on English Philology were placed in the same class, which was numbered 302. Adopting
this number Mr. Nicholson proceeded to limit its scope to works on the history of the study
of the English language, and to provide for other departments of the subject by the addition
of figures, in the following manner :

It will be noticed that, though the point is omitted, the figures after the third are regarded
as decimals, and thus 30229 precedes 3023, as having the lower decimal value. The sections
marked by an asterisk were not included in the original scheme and are for the moment dis¬
regarded. The first subdivisions (and for the sake of greater clearness the decimal point is here
inserted) were 302*1 general treatises, 302*2 phonetics, 302*3 semasiology, 302*4 word-books
(Old and Middle English), 302*5 modern word-books, 302*6 etymology, 302*7 grammar. By
the use of additional figures each of these was again subdivided—thus 302*7 is divided into
302*71, 302*72, and so on, to provide for the grammars of succeeding periods. The process
can be continued indefinitely, and one of the great advantages of this method is that additions
can be made at any point where such are required. Thus, when it became necessary to provide
for the granxmars of the present century, the number 302*77 was inserted, and, if the books
should be still classified in the same way in 2001, the number 302*78 can as easily be added to
provide for the grammars of the next century. So, too, the books referenced in the new divisions
can be placed in proper sequence without any disturbance of the order of those on either side
of them. The full press-mark is in the form 30277 e. 24, but the numbers here used indicate
not a particular case and shelf but merely the order in which the books are arranged. The
word * press-mark * is indeed not strictly applicable to the notation given to these books, which
is entirely independent of the press^ or bookcase with shelves, in which the books are placed.^
It has been shown before (see p. 285) that the same principle was adopted to some extent in the
very earliest arrangement of the Library; here it is applied throughout and in a much more
complete manner.
A recent occurrence gave a striking proof of the advantages of this form of notation. A few
years since, the addition of the Underground Bookstore necessitated the re-arrangement of
^ See H. R. Purnell, The development of notation in classification^ 1911.

something like a quarter of a million volumes which had been classified on this system. The
proper order of the books was of course maintained and the transference was accomplished
without the alteration of a single press-mark, while the books can be as readily found in their
new as they were in their former places. Had changes of press-mark been necessary, some half¬
million alterations would have had to be made in each copy of the Catalogue—a task which
would have taken some years to complete.
Mr. Nicholson’s main scheme, like those which had preceded it, did not include the subjects
of Oriental Philology, English Drama, British Topography, Law, or Music. Works on British
Topography still retain the merely topographical divisions by counties they have had since
1809, but the remainder of these were, either at the same time or later, dealt with in subsidiary
schemes, in some of which subdivision was carried to even greater lengths than in the main
scheme. The classification of Law, which can, however, only be noticed in passing, has a frame¬
work on which laws of all countries can be separately classified, and in some of its sections
allows of absolutely indefinite expansion, while in the arrangement of Incunabula and other
early printed books (‘ Antiquiora ’) topographical and chronological subdivision was carried to
the highest point of precision.
Siz^s marked by Letters
The extension of the classification was accompanied by an increase in the number of size-
»
divisions. The original threefold division into folio, quarto, and octavo had been temporarily
increased at times when want of bookroom was very acutely felt, and in the earlier part of the
nineteenth century books below <)\ inches in height had for purposes of shelving been in many
cases divided into large, medium, and small octavos. With the adoption of numbers to mark
subjects, sizes were indicated in press-marks by the use of letters instead of, as before, by the
ordinary abbreviations for quarto, octavo, and, less frequently, folio. At the outset some
attempt was made to employ the letters thus introduced into the press-marks for the purpose
of distinguishing between books of different sizes. Under both the classifications of 1861 the
letters <2, A, c indicated in all sections large octavos, octavos, and small octavos respectively, but
this uniformity was not extended to other letters used. Under the enlarged scheme of 1864
the principle was practically abandoned, a letter which marked one size in one section some¬
times indicated a different size in another section, and at the same time two or even more
different letters were used in one section for books of the same size. Mr. Nicholson rc-introduced
the principle of uniformity. The size-divisions were increased to seven, and to each of these
a fixed letter was allotted, so that, for instance, all books which are between 7 and 9 inches in
height are marked while those over 9 inches receive an earlier, those less than 7 inches a later
letter. The letters chosen^ were perhaps not those best adapted for the purpose, a and and

Still more c and e being frequently indistinguishable, but the practical utility of knowing the
size of a book from the letter in its press-mark is so great that one can only wonder that the
principle had not been definitely adopted at an earlier date.
General Remarks
It may, perhaps, not be out of place to add a few general remarks on the scheme as a whole.
It has never been printed and is consequently but little known outside the Library. It has been
said that it would not be suitable for any other library. This is probably true as it is equally
true of other schemes which have been published for general use and adopted—almost always
with modifications—in many libraries. Every library is necessarily different from every other
and has different needs. This is the case even in libraries which are constructed and managed
on similar lines, and is of course more particularly true of the Bodleian. To take only one point
—a library which obtains the greater part of its additions under the Copyright Act has to
provide for works which find their way into but few of the libraries which obtain the chief part
of their accessions by purchase.
The scheme, no doubt, has its weak points. In some sections the divisions have not always
been logically made or correctly numbered. In some subjects specialization has been carried
too far, in others the number of subdivisions is inadequate. As a consequence the classes
contain a very unequal number of books, for while one of these has some 16,000 volumes in one
ultimate size-division only, others have not a single book in any. Another result is that the
numbers allotted to some of the very minutely-divided sections have to be of formidable
length—that for the physiology of dicotyledons, for instance, is 16696091, and in this there is
but one single work, and that an offprint of a magazine article.
These blemishes are however trifling ones, and were doubtless due in great measure to the
small amount of time which the pressure of other duties permitted the compiler to devote to
it. They do not in any great degree detract from the merits of the scheme, which is one w'hich
is easily learnt, is simple to work, and is in the main admirably adapted to the very special
needs of the Bodleian. G. W. W.

APPENDIX A.—SPECIMENS OF BODLEIAN PRESS-MARKS, 1602-1883
The following arc intended to represent the chief press-marks, other than those of special collections,
in use for printed books at various times prior to 1883.
Press-marks which do not follow the progressive order of subdivision from greatest to smallest have
been re-arranged in this order and placed within square brackets. For instance, 8'> B 24 Art. BS. consists of
(i) the title of the collection—BS.; (2) the classification—Art.; (3) the size-division—8^; (4) the alphabetical
order—B ; (5) the number in sequence—24. [BS. Art. 8® B 24.]
In press-marks of early date the absence of size-marks usually implies that the books are in folio.
A complete list of the Manuscript and Printed Collections (about 400 in number) will be found in
the Staff Manual.

APPENDIX E.—ORIENTAL PRINTED BOOKS
The methods of dealing with printed books in Oriental languages have for many years diflFered somewhat
from those applied to other branches of literature, and the important position the Bodleian holds among
the world’s libraries as a storehouse of Oriental literature makes desirable the addition of a brief notice
of the collections in this department.
Sir Thomas Bodley was, as has been already said, well acquainted with Hebrew, and it is not therefdte
surprising to find that a considerable number of books in Hebrew and a few in other Eastern languages
are included even in the first Catalogue of the Library (1605). The classification of Hebrew books
appears to have presented no special difficulty, and for the most part these were referenced with books in
European languages in the ‘ Four Faculties ’ classification. With works in other less-known languages this
was not always possible. At the time the only alternative to classification was referencing into one of the
cases marked ‘ Arch.’, and this had of necessity to be done with works such as the ‘ Liber ignotae materiae
et incerto auctore ’ which is entered in the Catalogue of 1620 under Armenia, and also with the Chinese
books, some of which had been in the Library since 1606. These were entered under China as ‘ Libri
Chinenses excusi charactere Chinensi, numero 64 ’ without any further description.
The Laudian Collection consisted almost entirely of MSS. and cannot therefore be treated of here.
It contained works in Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac, Persian, Turkish, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Chinese, and
already in 1636 attention was called to the very large collection of Oriental books to be found in the
Bodleian. The extent of this was further increased in 1655-9, reception of the Selden Collection,
in which were many books in Hebrew and some in other Eastern languages. The folios among these, as
well as some of the quartos and octavos, were classified, but the greater part of those of the two smaller
sizes were placed apart, a special mark © being given [e. g. 4® © 217 Seld.]. This press-mark is of some
interest as being the only one among the many which have been employed in the Library at various
times in which a conventional symbol is used. Dr, Hyde, in the preface he contributed (according to
Thomas Hearne almost the only part he did contribute) to the Catalogue of 1674, mentions this symbol
‘ alii quidam [libri] decussato circello signantur ’ with other press-marks. He attaches no special significa¬
tion to it, and this, combined with the fact that not all Oriental books were thus distinguished, renders
it probable that its introduction was due to difficulties connected with the classification of the books
thus marked and their arrangement under the initial letters of their authors’ names, rather than to any
deliberate intention of forming a distinct Oriental collection.
From this time till early in the nineteenth century the additions of Oriental books (apart from special
collections such as those of Marshall (1685), Pococke and Huntington (1693), Marsh (1713), which
consisted almost entirely of MSS, and were kept apart from ordinary accessions), were few in number.
Some of those received were placed in the Selden Collection noticed above, but more commonly they were
referenced into the sections ordinarily in use at the time they were received, even when the books in these
were arranged in a classified order, and with the disregard and later the complete abandonment of classifica¬
tion, even this difficulty was removed.
In 1829 the large Hebrew collection of David Oppenheimer was acquired. It consisted, in addition
to MSS., of some 4,000 printed books, and the possession of these with subsequent additions has made the
Bodleian’s collection of Hebrew literature one of the largest in the world. No great additions were made
during the years immediately following, but in 1844 and subsequently large numbers were purchased, as
many as 2,000 volumes having been added to the Library between that date and 1857. ITiese and later
additions have been kept together and placed near the Oppenheimer Collection, of which they were con¬
sidered a continuation. They were marked ‘ Opp. Adds.’ [Oppenheimer Additions] and divided into
folio, quarto, octavo, and duodecimo, the press-marks taking the form Opp. Adds. Quo. iv. 76 : Opp. Adds.
8® ii. 14. The first intention appears to have been to place there only books entirely in Hebrew
characters, but in about the year 1850 grammars and other philological works, histories of literature and
even commentaries on books of the Old Testament, which had previously been referenced into other
sections, were added to it, and in 1881 the Selden Oriental Collection was moved from the Selden

%
End, and the Hebrew books, which formed the greater part of it, were placed in ‘ Opp. Adds/, the
re-referencing causing the 0 press-mark to disappear from the Library.
* Opp. Adds.’ continued to receive all Hebrew books till the end of 1897, when its use was discontinued
and the abbreviation ‘ Heb.’ substituted, together with the seven-fold division of sizes marked by
letters a-g which had been introduced with the classification scheme of 1883 [e. g. Heb. d. 33].
While the Hebrew collection was thus increasing year by year, attention was also devoted to Sanskrit
literature. The few books in this language placed in the Library before the nineteenth century were
referenced with other accessions. At a date somewhere about 1820, while many still continued to be
referenced in the then unclassified general sections of the Library, others were placed in Arch. B., and when
the limited accommodation there provided became insufficient for the greatly increased influx of books
in this language, it was supplemented by a new arrangement by which the books were marked * Arch.
Sanskrit without the addition of individual numbers. In 1867 Sanskrit works were to a great extent
collected together from the various positions they had hitherto occupied. A special hand-list was provided,
the abbreviation ^ Sansk.’ adopted as the general title, and a classification-scheme compiled in which the
books were divided into 14 sections marked by letters A-O [e. g. Sansk. A. 24]. At this time the general
contents of the Library were considered to be sufficiently classified by being divided into some 70 sections,
and the Sanskrit classification was therefore a comparatively minute one, and as, in addition, this is the
only instance in the Bodleian* of an Oriental language having subject subdivisions it may be worth while
to give a list of these. They were A = Veda ; B = Ramayana; C = Mahabharata; D = Purana; E=Later
poetry; F = Dramatic poetry; G* Fables and tales; H = Philology; I = Philosophy; K = Law; L =
Mathematics and Science ; M = Encyclopaedia ; N ^ Christian books ; O = Miscellaneous.
This method of arrangement lasted but a short time. No provision had been made in it for the separa¬
tion of books of different sizes, so that large and small stood side by side on the same shelf. In 1874 the
shelf-classification was abandoned, a division of the books into five different sizes taking its place, and the
entire collection being re-referenced. For a time the classification was continued in a different form,
books being entered ^th in the new and also in the old hand-list. Thus, for example, a work on the
Veda which was entered in the new hand-list as Sansk. 3. 18 was also entered in the A division in the old
hand-list. It had in the latter not a sequence number in that division, but in place of this a reference
(3. 18) to its number in the new hand-list. The double hand-listing ceased in about 1881, and in 1893
the ordinary size-divisions (a-g) were substituted for those previously used.
Chinese had also received considerable attention. A catalogue of books in this language—in which
the volumes are numbered in sequence only [e. g. Chin. 240]—was published in 1876, and the collection
was greatly increased in the following year and still further in 1913, when some 17,000 volumes were
presented by Mr. E. Backhouse.
In 1869 the remaining Oriental collections were referenced. They were grouped in three large
divisions—Aryan (limited to Eastern Aryan), Semitic (omitting Hebrew already provided for in * Opp.
Adds.’), and Turanian, which included all languages not belonging to one of the two other classes. The
books in each division were arranged in three sizes, indicated by numbers [e.g. Ary. 2. 40; Sem. i. 86;
Tur. 3. 64], but the division into these three groups was not’extended to works which were more than
13 inches in height, these being placed in unclassified sections marked Or. [Oriental] A, B, or C.
In 1885 the process of subdividing these large groups was begun, sections being made in that year
for Syriac, Arabic, Chinese, and other languages, and others have been added since that date. There are
now some 40 sections—each with the seven size-divisions—for books in the Oriental department, examples
of the press-marks given being Or. d. 2; Jap. a. 4; Pali c. 5; Misc. Indie, f. 10; Indo-Chin. g. 1;
Urdu e. 44.

TWELFTH-CENTURY LATIN ‘ BODLEIAN MSS.
Part II
A SECOND instalment is here given of a list of Latin manuscripts in the Bodleian written
in the twelfth century, of which the first part was printed in No. 7 of the Quarterly Record.
It extends to the end of the eighteenth-century collections described in the third volume
of the Summary Catalogue^ and so covers approximately MSS. nos. 2,000-16,700. It includes
248 manuscripts as compared with 214 given in Part I, and over a hundred others remain to
be included in the final instalment. This will be given in the next number of the Quarterly
Record^ in which it is hoped to give also a revised list of Latin Bodleian manuscripts written
before a.d. iioo. A preliminary and tentative list of the latter was printed in No. 2 (with
corrigenda in No. 6).

The Bodleian
^arterly Record
NOTES AND NEWS
Before the Shakespeare Tercentenary has quite passed, it may be worth while to
call attention to the date of what appears to be the first suggestion
doubted Shakespeare did not write his own Plays. It is as early as 1769,
and is contained in a feeble and fantastic allegory or pseudo-novel
in two volumes entitled The Life and Adventures of Common Sense, known
to have been written by a London surgeon named Lawrence Herbert. At pages
146-9 of vol. i the hero narrates that his father had made acquaintance with
Shakespeare shortly before 1588, and that the latter robbed his friend of a Common¬
place Book, a * Glass possessed of very extraordinary Properties ’, and a magic
Mask which made everything spoken through it ‘ appear extremely pleasant and
entertaining ’. With the help of these, Shakespeare’s success was of course secured.
This is mere midsummer foolery, but may perhaps claim priority, as a matter of
date, to all other attempts to deprive Shakespeare of his Plays. The first mention
of Bacon in connexion with the attempt is known to be in 1848. The book referred
to above is rare, but a copy is to be found in the Bodleian Library.
The first part of a very important work for students of mediaeval English poetry
has just been issued, namely vol. i of Professor Carleton Brown’s
Register of Middle English Religious and Didactic Verse (1200-1500)
(London, for the Bibliographical Society, 1916, 4°). This first volume
contains lists of the contents of all known MSS. which contain such
verse, while the second will give elaborate indexes of first words. The published
part is arranged according to the libraries in which the MSS. are found. It appears
that the libraries in London (chiefly, of course, the British Museum) occupy
187 pages, those in Oxford i6l, those in Cambridge 102, and those in the rest
of the world 78, and that thus more than 85 per cent, of all such verse known to
M
Middle
English
Poetry.

scholars is concentrated in three centres of learning. The Register is the result
of seven years’ unceasing work, and reflects great credit on the author and on the
Society which issues it.
#
The Warden and Fellows of Merton have kindly presented to the Library the
An Indulgence * printed Latin Indulgence of Pope Sixtus IV, dated
j gj which was found by the late Dr. P. H. Aitken in the binding
of a book in Merton College Library. Several copies of the
Indulgence, none of them quite perfect, were contained in the binding; and one
among them differed from all the others in certain typographical features. The
Indulgence is printed on vellum, and was issued by Johannes de Cardona on
behalf of an expedition for the defence of the island of inodes against the Turks;
the printer has been identified by Mr. E. Gordon Duff as Conrad Braem, of
Louvain. No edition of this Indulgence by this printer has hitherto been known.
In addition to the greater part of the Indulgence itself, we have been given
(i) a photograph of the least imperfect copy of it, the original of which is, of
course, retained by Merton College, (ii) a photograph of the variant form, and
(iii) a short printed description, written by Mr. P. S. Allen, containing an account
of the discovery and a transcript of the text. These have all been bound into
a single volume, which has been given the shelf-mark ‘ Inc. d. N 3, 1481. i In
consideration of the Louvain origin of this trouvaille the College has arranged,
with equal generosity and appropriateness, that one of the copies shall be offered to
the renascent Library of the University of Louvain; while others are presented to
the British Museum and the University Library at Cambridge. M. R. W.
Two documents of great interest for the first years of the Bodleian have been
Our earliest notice after long years of neglect. One has probably
, been in the Library since its composition: the second belonged to
^ * Hearne, and came to us with the Rawlinson collections in I 75 ^* ^^h®
first appears to have been caused by the Founder’s regulation that the smaller books
in the Library, whether manuscript or printed, should be given out personally by
the Librarian, since they were not protected like the folio volumes by being chained.
Dr. Thomas James must have chafed at this frequent disturbance of his severer
studies, and in order to have (we may conjecture) a basis for remonstrance, actually
took down each day, from the first, the names of all who asked him for these

lesser books, and even recorded whether they came in the morning or afternoon.
This register is faithfully kept for one complete year from the public opening,
i. e. from November 8, 1602, to November 7,1603. It preserves a list of all readers
who were not contented with the chained folios, and shows who and how many
they were in Oxford who at once appreciated and used Sir Thomas Bodley’s great
institution. The record had been hidden in the Old Catalogue of 1697 as * Cata-
logus nescio quis virorum Oxoniensium ’, and was re-discovered when the Summary
Catalogue reached the volume. The other record is the earliest Admission register
of all, which seems to have escaped Dr. Macray’s Annals. It extends from the
opening of the Library in November 1602 to Dr. James’s resignation in 1620, and
is contemporary from April 1603, when it was first drawn up. A similar but
less complete list, compiled from other sources, is printed in Clark’s Reg. of the
Univ., vol. ii, part i, pp. 262-282.
Dr. Macray’s recollections of the Visitations of Bandinel’s time are contained
q-t in a letter of November 10, 1915 : ‘ In my early days the Library
Visitation counted every year. The Vice-Chancellor took the folios
in old time large room [i.e. the Old Reading Room], and I usually attended
on him ; the Proctors counted the books in the Galleries: Dr. Pusey
regularly, by himself, counted the Oppenheimer and Oriental MSS.: Dr. Gaisford
counted, I think, the Auctarium. Other Curators dispersed themselves. When
the [Visitation] Dinner was given up, the authorities began to give over their
labours and to be satisfied with a report of the general condition of the Library.’
By that time a full count of the older parts of the Library by the Curators was
an obvious impossibility. At the present time counting for the Visitation (which
has always been on November 8, the anniversary of the first opening in 1602) begins
(at the Camera) as early as July.
In view of Sir Thomas Bodley’s interest in Hebrew and the great value of the
Hebrew collections in the Bodleian, it is difficult to realize that the
Library has never had a satisfactory catalogue of Hebrew printed
books. Steinschneider’s ‘ Catalogus Librorum Hebraeorum in
Bibl. Bodl.’ is not well described by its title, for it is not a catalogue
and does not relate specially to Bodleian books. It is a bibliography of Hebrew
literature, and though most of the books are to be found in this library, it deals

with many which have never been here. It was published in i860, so that it is,
of course, no guide to anything acquired since that date. Besides all this, the
descriptions are written in a peculiar Latin, bristling with abbreviations, and full
of references to antiquated or inaccessible bibliographical articles. When one has
ploughed one’s way through this and thinks one has made out which is the book
wanted, one discovers that no shelf-mark is given, and there is no assurance that
the book is even in the Library. The ‘ Catalogue ’ will no doubt supply much
information to one who can extract it, but it is a good illustration of the truth that
all German books need to be translated into French before they are fit to be used.
As an attempt to make the book useful, Bandinel had the sheets (probably as
they were printed off) interleaved, and these, bound in five volumes, are now kept
in the Oriental Sub-librarian’s study. In this copy about half the shelf-marks
were added by Mr. Harper (who died about thirty years ago), but as the Oppen-
heimer collection was afterwards re-numbered, most of his entries have had to be
corrected. This was done, and other shelf-marks were added, in 1866, by Gustav
Oppert, brother of the better-known Julius Oppert. On this interleaving the
books acquired in the last fifty-six years have been entered successively by G. Oppert,
Nutt, Neubauer, Matthews, and present members of the Staff. The result is
that it is very difficult to find a Hebrew printed book without the help of an
expert. This reproach is now to be removed. On the recommendation of the
Librarian, to whom I had explained the position and suggested a remedy, the
Curators last term decided to compile a concise catalogue of the Hebrew printed
books, which should be intelligible to readers and could be purchased. The work
was begun last September, and is not intended to be original or exhaustive, but
to give, in the shortest possible form, practical guidance as to the books. Even
so it will take some years to complete. A. E. C.
A most welcome and substantial benefaction of £^,000 towards the General Fund
Thf Powell Bodleian was received in November last from Mr. C. M. Powell,
M.A., Honorary Fellow of Corpus Christi College, now resident at
Caversham, near Reading. This appears to be the largest donation
of money ever received by the Library from a living donor. Convocation on
December 7, 1916, passed a decree acknowledging the gift in the following
terms:—‘ That the thanks of the University be accorded to Charles Marten
Powell, M.A., Honorary Fellow of Corpus Christi College, for his munificent
gift of j^5,ooo to the General Fund of the Bodleian Library.’

OBITUARY
The Rev. Dr. Macray
The Rev. Dr. William Dunn Macray, M.A., Hon. D.Litt., F.S.A., Fellow
of Magdalen College, Oxford, and for seventy-five years connected with the
Bodleian Library, of which he was the historian, died on December 5, 1916, at
Greenlands Cottage, Bloxham, near Banbury, in his 91st year. We quote part
of the excellent account of him given in The Times of December 6 ;
He was born in London, July 7, 1826, third son of Mr. John Macray, of Aberdeen, later
Librarian of the Taylor Institution. He was educated at Magdalen College School, and was
afterwards admitted an academical clerk of Magdalen College. Ordained in 1850, he became
chaplain of New College, a post which he held until 1880, being also at different times chaplain
of Christ Church and of Magdalen College and curate of St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford. In
1870 he was presented by Magdalen College to the rectory of Ducklington, which he held until
1912, uniting with it for some years the small rectory of Yelford.
Appointed at the age of 14 assistant in the Bodleian Library, he remained in the service
of that institution till 1905, when he retired on a pension. In 1891 Magdalen College elected
him a Research Fellow, to continue the College Register begun by Dr. Bloxam. The * new
series ’ of this work he carried on through eight volumes, ending with the index volume, pub¬
lished in 1915. In 1902, on the occasion of the Bodleian Tercentenary, he received the honorary
degree of Doctor of Letters ; he had been a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries since 1873.
A man of good ability and admirable method and diligence, Macray made large additions
to the volume of historical and archaeological knowledge. His first work was a manual of British
historians down to a.d. 1600, published in 1845, when the author was only 19. He was superin¬
tendent of the New Bodleian Catalogue from 1859 to 1871, when he was created special assistant

Id the MS. Department, and in 1868 he published his Annals of the Bodleian Library (2nd ed.,
1890).
He was also the author of valuable reports on State Papers in the Royal and University
Libraries of Sweden and Denmark, a long series of reports on manuscripts for the Royal Com¬
mission, and a manuscript calendar, which occupied him some fourteen years, of the Muniments
of Magdalen College. Among other of his works were volumes published for the Rolls Series,
the ‘ Chronicon Abbatiae de Evesham ’, the * Chronicon Abbatiae Rameseiensis ’, and charters
of the city and diocese of Salisbury, and also several works of curious interest, published for the
Roxburghe Club, among them the history of Grisild the Second.
He was greatly beloved in the rural parish of Ducklington, where he was Rector for more
than forty years, and indeed his modest faithfulness and combination of intelligence, learning,
and geniality, and Christian charity, made him esteemed and welcomed wherever he went.
It may be added that he was an impressive and effective speaker at Diocesan
Conferences and elsewhere. In 1890 he received a testimonial from all his fellow
Assistants, and in 1905, when he retired from active work in the Library on
a pension, an illuminated address from the entire Staff. A portrait of him was
painted by Mr. H. A. Tuke, A.R.A., in 1910, for the President and Fellows of
Magdalen College, and was presented by them in that year to the Bodleian, which
also possesses an enlarged photograph of him. A full account of him and of his
published works, including a long series of catalogues of Bodleian Collections,
and a reproduction of the Tuke portrait, will be found in vol. vii of the New
Series of the Register of St. Mary Magdalen College (Lond., 1911).

EARLY LATIN BODLEIAN MANUSCRIPTS
(Written before a.d. iioo)
In the second number of the Quarterly Record there was given a rough temporary list
of Latin MSS. in the Bodleian written before a.d. iioo. This was the first of a series
of lists of all Bodleian and Oxford College MSS., in Latin, Greek, or other Western
languages (Old English, Irish, French), written on vellum before a.d. 1200, the last of the
scries being the concluding portion of a list of Latin twelfth-century MSS. in the Bodleian
which is printed as No. II of Documents and Records in this number. Some corrigenda
and addenda to the first list of early Latin Bodleian MSS. were given in the Quarterly
Recordy No. 6, p. 162, but these themselves required addition, and it has been decided to
print in this concluding number of the first volume of the Quarterly Record a revised list on
the more elaborate model adopted for the lists of Bodleian twelfth-century MSS. There¬
fore to the first column giving the number of the item in the Old Catalogue of 1697
or in the Summary Catalogue, and to the second column giving the short title, have been
added a third column giving provenance (probable place of writing in italics, or earliest known
library in italics and round brackets), and a fourth column giving the Library shelf-mark.
MSS. other than Latin have attention drawn to them by having their titles printed in italics.
Other symbols adopted are—
1 = written in uncials.
2 = written in half-uncials
3 = written in Hiberno-Saxon minuscules.
(No number; 8th—loth centt.) = written in continental minuscules.
* = facsimile in E. VV'. B. Nicholson's Early Bodleian Music^ vol. iii.
t = facsimile in publications of Palaeographical or New Palaeographical Society.
X = facsimile in R. Ellis's Facsimiles from Latin MSS. in the Bodleian Library.
A few fragments included in the original list have been excluded in the revised edition, but
a rough list of Latin fragments written before a . d . 1200 will be printed in the next number
with notes on Latin palimpsests and early deeds. The w'riter has generally taken his dating
from the official copies of the Library catalogues, and makes no claim to have verified

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
II
TWELFTH-CENTURY LATIN BODLEIAN MSS.
Part III
Here follows a third and final instalment of Latin MSS. in the Bodleian written in
the twelfth century. The first and second portions of this list were printed in Nos. 7 and 11
of ^he QuarUrly Record, and contained 214 and 248 MSS. respectively. These and the
95 MSS. listed below produce a total of 557 12th cent. Western MSS. (other than Greek)
in the Bodleian Library. Out of this total five are Old English, two are Irish, two arc
French, and the remainder are Latin. Deeds, palinipsests, and fragments are excluded from
this list, as are also MSS. deposited in the Bodleian. It is intended to give a list of fragments
earlier in date than the thirteenth century in the next number. A list of twelfth-century
Greek MSS. in the Bodleian will be found in No. 3 of the QuarUrly Record, and No. 6
contains lists of twelfth-century college MSS., both in Latin and Greek, some of which
(viz. University, New College, Lincoln, Brasenose, Jesus) are deposited in this Library.

THE END OF THE LAST OXFORD PARLIAMENT, 1681
[Extracts from G. M. Trevelyan^s England under the Stuarts^ Lond., 1904, 8®.]
The third Whig Parliament [March 21-8,1681, at Oxford] was composed of much the same
elements as the last two, but almost every member of the majority was on this occasion pledged
to his constituents to accept nothing short of Exclusion. Charles therefore cheerfully offered
an alternative which he would have been most unwilling to concede. He proposed, with
regard to the succession, that James should be banished, and William or Mary of Orange made
regent to govern in his name. . . . The Whigs felt certain that the want of money would leave
Charles no choice but surrender, unless indeed he was prepared to begin a war, with his exchequer
as empty as his father^s before Edgehill.... [In fact] it seemed that in a few weeks Government
must capitulate, or else anarchy would usher in Civil War. . . .
But when the King faced the Commons at Oxford, he had a promise of three years’ supply
from the French King, and they did not know it. This is the key to his action and to theirs.
The Whigs, unconscious of the trap that had been laid for them, were in high spirits. . . .
Meanwhile, the leaders in the Commons hurried through the Exclusion Bill. The University
buildings had been made ready for the use of Parliament. The Commons sat in Convocation
House, and the Lords in the Geometry School; the rest of the Schools were given up to the
various Parliamentary Committees. The quadrangle was alive every morning with the buzz
of politicians and grandees. On the eighth day of the session the King appeared suddenly in
the House of Lords. He had come in a sedan chair, closely followed by another, of which the
drawn curtains presumably concealed some attendant Lord. The Commons hastily summoned
to the Upper House, expecting to hear the King announce his surrender, came rushing tumul¬
tuously across the quadrangle, crowded up a steep and winding staircase, jostled through
a narrow door, and passed down some steps into the body of the hall. Charles with a gay face
watched his enemies defile. At length they stood there, as many as could fight their way in,

below the throne, panting, a close-headed mob. The King was in the robes of State—the
real contents of the second sedan. In those robes alone could he dissolve Parliament. He
spoke the fatal words and left the room, while the Commons trooped back the way they had
come, with ‘ dreadful faces ^ and ^ loud sighs \ The secret had been kept so well that the
Whigs had no plan of action. A couple of hours’ warning might have served to organize
resistance, as it had served to save the Five Members. But now Shaftesbury in vain sent his
messengers round the town to induce the Parliament men to stay together. A panic seized the
undisciplined and braggart host that had ridden into Oxford. They believed that if they
stayed Charles would send his guards to ‘ pull them out by the ears ’. The price of horses
doubled, as in a city about to be entered by a victorious foe. The roads to Banbury, Witney,
and Shotover were thick with men, in coaches and on horseback, flying for their lives, each to
his far country home.
Note.
The historic scene above described was on this wise:—^The House of Lords was sitting
in a long room which extended^ on the first floor of the ‘ Schools Quadrangle ’, from the Tower
to the NE. corner of the quad, a room now divided into three Oriental Rooms. The entrance
to the room for the Peers was by a broad staircase from the ground in the said corner, which
bears the title * Schola Linguarum . . . but (in its lower part) is no longer a staircase. For
fear of unseemly jostling, the representatives of the House of Commons, who had to be sum¬
moned from the Convocation House to meet the King and hear his speech, were hustled
^ a narrow winding stone staircase which still leads from the ground up to the top of the
Tower and is wholly contained within the Tower. When the Members reached the level of
the first floor they were precipitated through an awkward corner door in the staircase into
the full light of what is now the Mason Room in the Tower. While still dazed with the light,
they had to scamper down five steps leading from the Tower to the ‘ House of Lords ’,
where they must have arrived in a dishevelled and panting condition. The Royal Message
of Dissolution was at once read, and the comedy took another and wholly unexpected turn.
It was the King who was this time protagonist and bolted for his coach. He vanished by
the broad stairs reserv^ed for the Lords, shuffled as fast as dignity and robes would allow across
the quadrangle, bundled into his coach, and was at Shotover before the city in general knew
that Parliament was dissolved, or the King gone. The whole scene occurred in the afternoon
of Monday, March 28, 1681, and was no doubt a smart piece of work, which would have been
wholly humorous, but for its sinister political significance.
V
THOMAS HEARNE
(Oxford antiquary, died 1735)
At p. 139, above, the expression ^ often mendacious ’ is used of old Tom Hearne.
«
The Editor should have seen to it that the words were softened down, but he is
less repentant in view of the two criticisms, by the Rev. H. E. Salter and by the
late Rev. Dr. W. D. Macray, which the phrase has elicited.

BODLEIAN QUARTERLY RECORD
Mr. Salter’s note is as foUows :—
To say that Hearne was ^ often mendacious ’ is to go too far, if no man is mendacious unless
he states untruth, knowing it to be untrue. It would be correct to say that Heame is often
untrustworthy, and even untruthful, but hardly mendacious. As a scholar he was absolutely
trustworthy ; he would never alter his manuscripts to suit his theories ; he would never claim
to have seen that which he had not seen, though at times he had Wood’s fault of hinting that
he had stores of information, when actually he had and could have none. But it was when
he dealt with men, in particular with his contemporaries, that he became untrustworthy and
even untruthful. When he says that Bishop White Kennett wept for three days, on hearing
that his daughter wished to marry a coachman, and that the reason of his weeping was because
he knew his enemies would rejoice, Hearne is obviously untrustworthy; and when he adds,
without producing any evidence, that the girl married the coachman because she had already
lost her character, he is worse than untrustworthy ; it is clear that he is inventing; his argu¬
ment is that there must have been some reason why she married beneath her, and as she was
the daughter of White Kennett, it must have been a bad reason. Had she been a Nonjuror,
Hearne would have assigned nothing but good motives for her action. Yet it would be
incorrect to say that even here he was mendacious. He had the faculty of convincing himself
that gossip or surmise when it was against his enemies was trustworthy proof; but when it
was against his friends he weighed it as it deserved. In particular, whatever Hearne says about
Joseph Bowles, Librarian of the Bodleian, must, be discounted. According to Hearne he was
a dunce and a rogue; if he preaches he does it scandalously ; when on one occasion he does
right, it is (according to Hearne) only because he has not the courage to do wrong; yet his
contemporaries considered him a good scholar and an adequate Librarian. H. E. S.
Dr. Macray wrote (^i) on October i8 and {b) on November lo, 1915 :—
(j) . « . I saw in an earlier number a letter from a correspondent which spoke of Hearne’s
‘ usual mendacity This I earnestly disclaim on Hearne’s behalf. Strong in his prejudices
and personal dislikes as he was, and always outspoken, I never found anything that he wrote
‘ mendacious ’, i.e. distinctly and purposely untrue. Unfair to opponents he may have often
been, but then in time of bitter party conflict every one was (and is !) unfair, but not a liar.
I have great respect for old Tom and his memory.
{b) I am somewhat jealous for the honour of Hearne, who did so much for the Library.
It has to be remembered (i) that the passages in his Diary were written by him privately,
for his own use, and that very little therein was ever published, or (I suppose) was intended
to be. He left all his Diaries to Rawlinson, and when they came to the Library they were
probably not looked at much until Bliss made his extracts. I do not think there is anything
from them in Walker’s Oxonian a. (2) That he put down the gossip which he heard, some
true, other not. He repeated in his own jottings what he heard. . . . He had the feeling of
all Nonjurors (or most of them) towards men who were not ‘ honest ’, and the same ill-will
was returned. Peace to their ashes !

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE BOOK-WORM (see frontispiece)
In Micrographia, a ‘ study of the Minute Bodies made by the Magnifying
Glass London, MDCLXVII, one of the earliest publications issued under the
authority of the newly-formed Royal Society, Robert Hooke described in Observa¬
tion LII the * small silver-colour’d Book-worm ‘ which upon the removal of
Books and Papers in the Summer, is often observed very nimbly to scud, and pack
away to some lurking cranny’. The third figure of the 33rd scheme pictures
a monster so formidable-looking that Blades' may be forgiven the suggestion that
Hooke * evolved both engraving and description from his inner consciousness
Comparing, however, this earliest known drawing with one in Houlbert’s mono¬
graph, Les InsecUs Ennetnis des LivreSy 1903, we find that the distinguished author
of the Micrographia knew what he was about, as alike in text and figure he has
given what Houlbert calls ‘ une belle et exacte description ’ of the Lepisma
saccharina, a formidable enemy of books, ‘ one of the teeth of time ’, as Hooke
calls it. It is a fine bold figure, well executed, and the text is remarkable for
a digression upon the different refrangibilities of light of the scales of the Lepisma^
which cause the shining appearance, and explain the name ‘ silver fish ’ given by
children to this insect.
In Beschreibung von allerley Insecten in Deutschland, 1721, anderer Theil, p. 36, ix,
‘ von dem kleinen Gelben Brodt-Kafer *, Joh. Leonhard Frisch gives the first account
of the common Anobium paniceum\ and Tafel viii, fig. i, illustrates roughly the
larva and pupa. Though not directly referred to as a book-worm, Frisch knew
that it attacked manuscripts and books.
As Prediger’s Buchbinder und Futteralmacher, 4 vols., 1742 and 1772 (and an
earlier unknown edition), is not in the British Museum or in Bodley, I cannot say
whether or not the book-worm (which is referred to) is figured. The Gentleman’s
Magazine for 1754 has a brief reference to the work.
The Gottingen prize essays in answer to the questions of the Royal Society
of Sciences as to the varieties of insects’ injuries to books, &c.. Drey Preisschriften
zu Beantwordung, Uc., Hannover, 1775, have no illustrations.
During the first half of the nineteenth century only a few observations of
importance were made upon book-worms. The widespread prevalence of insect

pests in the United States aroused the attention of trained entomologists, and the
studies of H. A. Hagen, Riley, and others enlarged our knowledge of the varieties
of insects which preyed upon books. How rare are good illustrations may be
judged from those in Blades’s Emmies of Booksj 1896, and in Ed. Rouveyre’s Con-
naissances necessaires d un bibliophiley 5™ ed., tom. 8, 1889. Scattered contribu¬
tions to the number of about eighty are recorded for the nineteenth century in
the bibliography given by Houlbert. In 1900, at the * Congres international des
bibliothecaires ’ held at Paris, it was decided to offer prizes for the best memoirs
upon the insects which attacked books. One of these Marie-Pellechet prizes, the
memoir of M. Houlbert, just referred to, gives for the first time a systematic
grouping and study of the insect enemies of books. It is surprising to find so
large a number as sixty-seven species described, of which about one-half are
Coleoptera or beetles. Apart from the Termites, which are rare in Europe, the
larvae of Coleoptera are the most harmful, and of these the Anobiides are the
common and dangerous forms. Houlbert states that in France nine times out
of ten the Anobium paniceum, known in America as the Sitodrepa panicea, is the
culprit. In the Cambridge Natural History : InsectSy Part II, Sharp gives a good
account of the Anobiides, and the best figures I have seen of the transformations
of Anobium paniceum. In tome iii, pi. 53, of Jacquelin du Val’s Gemra des
Coleoptcres £ Europe Anobium pertinax is figured, the only coloured illustration
I have seen of a book-worm.
In October 1915 I received from a Paris bookseller, M. Lucien Gougy, three
volumes of the Histoire abregie de la derniere persecution de Port-Royal. Edition
Royale, MDCCL,’ no place of printing indicated. On a card inside the cover,
with ornamented border, is printed ‘ Resid. Tolos. S.J. ’, which indicates the
provenance of the volumes from the south of France. The backs of two of the
volumes were wormed, vol. i with two holes, vol. ii with ten, and this volume
when opened showed at the back close to the binding a single large tunnel, an
inch and a half in length, with laterals above and below. The borings had a fresh
look and there were many granular castings. Near to the top of the main tunnel
my eye caught a globular nest or casing (seen in figure 2 <2, midway between the
holes through the back), and from the upper open end of this a brownish black head
bobbed in and out- With a lens part of the body could be seen, and with gentle
manipulation the little worm was extracted. In figure 2 bit can be seen on the page
of natural size, at the top of the upper right-hand tunnel. It had a yellowish white
glistening body covered with fine soft hairs. The enlarged larva and mandibles

are shown at figure 3 , while figs. 5 and 5 a show the adult beetle of natural size and
magnified, and figs. 4 and 4 a the pupa case. Only once before, in the University
Library, Utrecht, had I seen a living book-worm. The picture of the opened book
was so striking that Professor Poulton, to whom I showed it, urged me to have
a sketch made by the well-known artist Mr. Horace Knight, of the British Museum.
Mr. Knight writes, September 4, 1916, * Herewith the drawing of the book-worm
which more than a year ago you asked me to make. It has been waiting in hopes
the larva would pupate, but it has not even commenced to make a case, and
Dr. Graham thinks it may go another year. . . . There are no eggs of this species
in the British Museum and no drawing of any value.’ Mr. Knight’s beautiful
sketches are so superior to anything in the literature that Mr. Madan has kindly
consented to have the plate reproduced in the Bodleian Quarterly Record.
The specimen is Anobium hirtunty not a native of England, but met with
occasionally in the centre and south of Franee. Houlbert says there are very few
observations upon it. In the southern states of America it is more common, and
the best account is to be found by E. A. Schwarz {Insect Life, vol. vii, p. 396,
Washington, 1895) in a paper entitled ‘ An imported Library Pest ’. Large
numbers were found in the State Library, Baton Rouge, La., and the Library of
St. Charles College.
Insect book-worms are rare in Oxford, even in the most secluded libraries.
Mr. Maltby, the well-known bookbinder, has the largest collection I have seen,
made during the past twenty-five years, all of Anobium domesticum, except one
unknown Lepidopteran larva. There are a few in Mr. Madan’s possession. Though
many of the old books in Oxford libraries are badly wormed, recent ravages are rare.
One of the least used collections is that of Bishop Allestree, housed so quaintly
above the cloisters at Christ Church. There have been books badly damaged,
but at a recent visit I could find no worms in the books, but one shelf had plenty
of borers whose sawdust covered the tops of the books below. It may be men¬
tioned that the Anobium is the genus of the ‘ death-watch ’ beetles which make
a clicking sound in wood, so that there is some basis for the statement of Christian
Mentzel, an old seventeenth-century worthy, that he heard a book-worm crow
like a cock. Bodley is singularly free from the ravages of book-worms—confirming
the remark of Charles Nodier, ‘ La bibliotheque des savants laborieux n’est jamais
attaquee des vers ’.
